The other day I was out for a walk with my wife and duaghter. I had some good experiences with the Super-Takumar 135mm/3.5 making portraits and birdshots. Here are a couple of portraits converted to black and white in Photoshop (with Channel-mixer).

This is the Asahi Pentax Spotmatic with Super-Takumar 135mm/3.5 (M42 mount offcourse). Nice old camera and lens. It’s very pretty, I’m thinking of making this into a wallpaper. What do you think?
Oh, by the way, the image is shot with Yashica ML 50mm/2 on Canon EOS 350D.
