Today it’s snowstorm here. The last few days I have had the idea to do a 50mm battle (my armada of 50mm lenses is growing), but I never seem to get out and do it. Well, I have some images on storage since last shoot so… heres fluffy catched in backlight with Asahi Opt.Co. Super-Multi-Coated 55mm f1.8 M42-lens on the camera Canon EOS 350D:

As I sit here today and watch the images form yesterday, I see things I want to change. Lucky me that the subject is nearby, will give it another go tonight. However, I like this portrait photograph from yesterday made with Asahi Pentax S-M-C Takumar 55mm/1.8 m42 on Canon EOS 350D. Fixed a bit in Photoshop (black and whit, crop, contrast).

Yesterday I went to the factory industrial museum here in Garphyttan and took the Asahi S-M-C Takumar 55mm/1.8 with me. I had to shoot with very large aperture due to the low lights in the room (and I had no tripod or flash with me). Many images were blurry, but some ok - this is the first of the photos I run through Photoshop

One of the nicest lenses in my Asahi collection. It’s a common lens, but veeeeery nice. Buy one! ;)
