Did I bring the Asahi Super-Takumar 28mm/3.5 close enough? The kidneywort flower, Anemone hepatica, was touching the lens ;) More flowers to come, it’s that time of year…

This is the time of springflowers in Sweden. Anemone hepatica (“blåsippa”) and Anemone nemorosa (“vitsippa”) is two common ones that covers the ground here. I discovered that the Super-Takumar 28mm/3.5 with different lengths of macrorings/extenders makes for a good tool shooting pictures of flora. Wideangle close to the flowers gives an interesting field of view to play with. This was made in the spring, and I have more coming…

Super-Takumar Sunflower as Stockphoto

This sunflower was made with Asahi Super-Takumar 28mm/3.5 and now I got it in as stockphoto at Fotolia. It interesting in two ways, first of all I don’t think I’m normally a stockphoto guy. Dark, blurry nature images don’t make good stockphoto ;) I then it’s made with an old manual M42-lens. This 28mm-lens is good but if you get one try to look up serialnumbers first and get a late made one as it can be a big difference in quality.

So if you want to buy my Super-Takumar sunflower as stockphoto, spend a dollar at Fotolia :)
