    One I have just taken with a lens found an hour ago in an old camera case - it is a 55mm Nippon Kogaku f3.5 f32 with its Nippon extender all on a Nikon Z6 - ambient light - the lens is a before the second world version.

    Finally got a proper macro lens: 1:1 Fuji 80mm 2.8.
    Now learning. Darkroom photography is the hardest.
    This shot came out interestingly - the mirror image has more true to life colors.

    Been shooting with Sigma's 70mm Macro f2.8 recently, and really been enjoying the sharpness.

    Very interesting to see a macro image done with the Super Takumar 85mm 1,8 . Takumars were always the best lenses for the money, they are not inferiors to any others. the earlier Takumars were nicer that the later SMC versions

    I think Taks are one of the best M42 lenses. 85/1.8 feels almost modern, so good.

    I don't think much can touch early Takumar lenses for the price. I've got a growing collection of them. They're built like tanks and are as smooth as silk!!!

    To continue the Takumar theme, I just went outside and took this.
    Olympus E-M10 Mark II, Asahi Pentax Extension Tube and a rare 50+ year old Auto-Takumar 35mm f2.3 lens.
