Hand held and then Cropped. Very unusual around here to see a Downy Woodpecker do this. He is back every day and many times a day. Weird to see it and a humming bird feeding on opposite sides at the same time.

That is odd. Woodpeckers do love suet, which can be sweet ...

But I do not see the hummer in the same shot. 
Very unusual methinks.
I will send a link to this post to a published bird photographer I know & see what she thinks of it.

A few months ago I put several takumars side-by-side:
early Takumar 105/2.8 (1950s)
Late Takumar 105/2.8 (1960s)
Super Takumar 105/2.8
SMC takumar 105/2.8
.. all shooting into an incadescent bulb.
Interestingly enough, with the exception of the earliest takumar which flared ... the rest were remarkably close ... telling me that the SMC is not leagues ahead as some (and the prices) would suggest.
Seeing your mention of the auto-takumar just reminded me. The 105mm is a takumar design that remained largely unchanged even into the days of PK. |

For your information, here is the reply I got:
"Hi Ron,
Yes, very common behavior for Downys and sapsuckers as well. The ones here are at the oriole feeder just as soon as the oriole family leave. The orioles are more aggressive though and have first dibs!
I've also had chickadees stop by for a sip too. I'm pretty sure I posted photos of both on the old forum at one time or another. I'm sure most people find it surprising the first time they see it happening-lol. "

Thanks Ron. Yes it was a surprise to me for the first time. No orioles here but several different Downies are sipping the sugar water now.

Actually, the early pre-set Tak 105mm and Auto-Tak 105mm have 4 elements in 5 groups and the late pre-set, Super Tak and S-M-C Super Tak 105mm lenses have 5 elements in 4 groups. Also, the late runs of the Super Taks and early runs of the S-M-C lenses may have the same coating.
The late version of the preset which is obvious due to its all black body was actually released about the same time as the 1st version of the Super Tak and was produced until 1968. There were 2 versions of the Super Takumar 105mm and both had the 5 elements in 4 groups and can't tell you what the difference is other than the 1st version has 350 on the A-M switch and the later one has 43501. You may also encounter 738 on the switch which was put on sample of both versions.
