Lens for sale: Asahi Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9 m42

My lens Asahi Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9 m42 is for sale (I have one S-M-C Takumar 85mm/1.8 which I will keep). It is in good, but used, condition. The color of some often touched places is a bit worn, as you can see on the images. It also has a little scratch on the “L” in the “Lens made in Japan”-text, and on the “T” in “Super-Takumar”.

The price for the lens: $350, or £200, or €240. Add shipping-cost from Sweden.

Autumn with Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9

I have shot some autumn with Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9, classic portrait M42-lens from Asahi (Pentax).

I like the contrast of sharp leafs to soft bokeh. The autumn colors I love, but sometimes it pays to go black and white I think. Do the opposit to the common way, our your own routine.

Renewed Flickr account today

I renewed my Flickr account today to Pro. I use Flickr and Ipernity, so I use double webservice image storage/communities. I like Ipernity where also are a translator to my language, but many of my old images are linked from my websites to Flickr since I have used their pro-account for a few years. A later image is this leaf with drops, photographed with the lens Asahi Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9 on my Canon.

Becoming a blueberry

I like the small, unripe fruits that grow to berries. The light shines through them almost. Here photographed with Asahi Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9.

Winter berries with Super-Takumar 85mm

Some winter berries with Super-Takumar 85mm/1.8. I feel a little bit like they look at the moment. Wish it could be summer soon, with more daylight and possibility to exercise in nature. It would be great with some more energy.

Autumn bokeh again

Every year I get cought up in the autumn bokeh again, the leafs turning red. It is one year ago I did the same thing with the Auto-Takumar 85mm/1.9, this year it’s Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9. It’s bokeh suits me for this type of images. I just hope I can grow as photographer even if the motifs are the same ;)

Autumn leaf - it that time again

Portrait of a magic lens

Portrait of a magic lens, Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9, on my old Spotmatic-camera. Asahi made great things – and still do perhaps, but I’ve only tested their old stuff :)
