First Shots with Pentax Takumar 135 F2.5 M42

First Shots with Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 135 F2.5 M42.(43812)

I'm still in awe over the results from this old lense. I'm chucking all my L lenses.

Just some boat shots from a local slip. Enjoy

I love all the Takumar primes, but as I'm not proud, if you want, you can chuck all your Canon L primes in my direction!

Cheers

Great photos!

I love the lifelike quality of the old MF lenses like this. The colour, crispness and dimension is just wonderful.

I don't have any L lenses or modern primes and cannot afford any, so I was thrilled when I came across information about these older lenses and learned how easily they can adapt to DSLR cameras.
