The image was edited on an iPad mini using the Snap Seed application: full frame scan of entire negative area without trimming. The negative was illuminated on a light box and scanned with a Pentax k3 DSLR and Schneider COMPONON-S 80mm/4 enlarging lens on a helicoid extension tube. Film was KENTMERE 400 bulk film stock metered ASA 200 developed in PMK PYRO (5ml A + 10ml B > 600ml, 7min 10aec, 20*C). Photographed February 2020 / Praktica IV Single Lens Reflex 35mm film camera with Asahi PENTAX Super-Multi - Coated Takumar 24mm/3.5 Lens. Yes, I know this photo is not in focus, but it is NOT supposed to be! :)))) I ran out of light by the time the adapter was delivered, so tomorrow I will go outside and see what else this combo can do. This may be a very good combination, because both the lens and camera have no internal stabilization. It is mint, and is now on my GH3 with its adapter. This lens looks like it has never been used. My experience with ICM is that I have better luck with a junky, slow lens, because I can get more creative blur without needing an ND filter. It came today, and that is the lens that made this photo. I finally figured out what adapter it needed, and luckily one was for sale on eBay. The Takumar 35mm also had a stuck filter, but I froze it and fiddled with it for about an hour, and finally got it off.Īll of them were M42 mounts except one of the Vivitars, which seemed to be missing any way to mount it on any camera. The other two were Vivitar 200mm's-one wearing a UV filter that even Godzilla could not get off! My plan was to donate those two to the thrift store. I won five lenses on an auction in 'as in' condition for about $20 each and a little shipping-a Super Takumar 50mm 1.4, a Super Takumar 55mm 1.8, and a Super Takumar 35mm 3.5.
