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! ;)

This morning I went to collect my bike, which was left in the woods with a flat tire the other week. Took the Asahi Pentax S-M-C Takumar 300mm/4 along and shot a view of the village I live in here in Sweden, Garphyttan. I might have some flaws, but I like that this image shows the feel of this place.

Just want to show off my new S-M-C Takumar 300mm/4 :) This is not the best image, but I think it shows the size of the lens. Eventhough the hood is not extracted. I photographed the whole Pentax-collection tonight so more (and better) pictures will be published.
