Tuscany and Takumars (and a Mir)

[Aanything]

I went for a couple of days in the Siena province, in Tuscany, near the border with Umbria: it's a beautiful area, with hundreds small towns on hill tops, and layers of roman and medieval architecture. No need to say that food and wine (especially reds, it's the area where Brunello di Montalcino is produced) are simply great there.
I brought my four favorite taks (35/2, 50/1.4, 85/1.9 and 135/2.5) and a Mir 20/3.5, here are some of the pics:

1- Celle sul Rigo (MC Mir 20 M)


2- Celle sul Rigo (MC Mir 20 M)


3- Around Contignano(Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 135/2.5, cropped)


4- Around Contignano again (Super Takumar 35/2)


5- Far view of Radicofani with its tower (Super Takumar 50/1.4, I will clone out that wire, sooner or later)


6- Radicofani, undergoing some water tubes maintenance (Super Takumar 50/1.4)

Beautiful place! I suggest contrast , color fix most old lenses except top of the line lenses require it.
