Arts Centre and old church with Deckel lenses

Farside · Expire: 2013-12-27

Thanks to Alex hk300 - I'm now able to use my Deckel mount Retina and Voigtlaender lenses on my Pentax -or any other M42 camera.
The results are worth it.

First up, the Voigtlaender Super-Dynarex 135/4.

Then, the Retina Curtagon Schneider-Kreutznach 28/4

There was obviously some kind of wicker work thing going on at the arts centre.

And this figure looks to be a religious one, at a guess

From the back, though, it looks decidedly Pagan.

I think the artist was having a laugh.

All pics have just had levels adjusted and a normal sharpen. The colour renditions are all SK and Voigtlaender with a bit of input from Pentax.

Very nice series Dave! Love the holy/pagan dual statue Laughing

Excellent image quality from your lenses. You have made a very good move with that adapter!
I'd wish too see more from them, from the Curt especially.

Thanks, guys.
The Curt is a bit of a mixed bag - the lower left corner is a bit crap in the distance, but nearer it seems acceptable enough. I'll have to use it more to get used to it. I lost a few shots because of faulty focusing, but that was perhaps just being too quick on the button.
I like the Super-Dynarex, although it seems to want to back focus quite a bit on the K10D, but where I got it right it was excellent. Something worth looking at, and I think I could get quite into using that a lot more.
Overall, I do like the colour rendition and I'll give the Color-Skopar an outing soon.
