  Aperture 3.5 for a 135mm Lens are alright !

  1:50 Its to lessen the chromatic aberration while reducing weight not to add sharpness.

• 
  @fistfulloflenses6 күн бұрын

  Partly right, Chromatic aberration also called, chromatic distortion, colour aberration etc , is a failure of the lens to focus all colours to the same point, in short, causing the light to be dispersed, chromatic aberration manifests itself as fringes of colour along boundaries, so in theory if you can eliminate chromatic aberration you can make the image appear sharper , of course the other benefit of using thorium is that it reduces the necessary curvature of the glass allowing the lens elements to be thinner and therefore lighter, phew a long winded explanation 😊

  Any opinion on the Pentax Super-Takumar 1:2.5/135, produced in Japan, with M42 mount? I believe it was on the market in the 1970ies..

  Another one i'm missing out on for it being too modern! I do however have the 1971 Thorium-baked version, and that is one of my favourite manual lenses (along with the excellent 55 1.8). Nice vid - cheers very much.

  Very nice. I've not tried this lens, but I do use the Super-Multi-Coated Takumar version. I always wonder how the earlier variants stack up against the later - or vice-versa. I do know, however, that whenever I pick mine up (as I just have) I want to use it.... Surely a good sign. Cheers from New Zealand.

  New Zealand,a beautiful country, very nice to hear from you, I've not used the super takumar version, but I am impressed with the build quality of the Pentax lenses I've got.

• 
  @luzr66139 күн бұрын

  Build quality is certainly one factor that endears them to me too - they have a very satisfying feel to them. And although I do have very good digital glass, I'm always a little worried that it'll spontaneously die on me (like the bodies do!) and throw me back into poverty. No such fears with good vintage lenses!

  Nice one Karl! Honest answer? I couldn't tell you which image was shot on the different bodies. Perhaps the same shot taken at more or less the same time with each camera would be conclusive, but there again does it really matter when the results are that good?

  One of my favorite lenses! I bought one about a year after I bought my first 35mm SLR, a Pentax MX in 1978. A voiceover audio editing suggestion: Use a pop/sibilance shield on your voiceover microphone to reduce high frequency noise. You can also try filters in your video editing software. Also try a little bit of compression of the audio to reduce the volume variation in your narration. Thanks.

  Hi, I've just tested this lens from a reseller and found the focus ring had a little movement when moved left to right (not turned, but moved) like if it was a little loose, and also made a little click sound when doing this.
