Yep they are big I was trying to keep all the details. Smile The first one is my grandma. The shot is lit only by a light coming from the window. The yellowish tint is coming from table cover that was hit by the sunlight. Smile

The first one is fantastic!

Does your takumar has yellowing problems?

Well dont know Sad .... I shoot my photos in RAW 99% of the time and I remove the unwanted color casts in the processing software. I heard that if you expose to sunlight for some time the yellowing will weaken.

From pictures I have taken I can tell that takumar is producing very warm colors. Maybe this is a sign of that problem.

I especially like the light in No.1, the expression in No.4, the details in No.5 and the composition in No.6!
Well done!

Yes, I had that problem too. The person who sold it to me said the lens had never been out of the camera case since the early 80's, so if it took that long to go yellow you can't expect it to clear very quickly. I've kept the lens in the (mostly weak) sunlight here in UK since January and the yellowing has now virtually disappeared. Also I think this lens is probably designed to give a warmer appearance than some other makes.

Nice pictures sqwall - thankyou.
