Here's the 2nd installment of my M42 Screwmount love affair.
Now I am very lucky to have come across this lens ... I was browsing the Marketplace here as many of us do ... and I came across this lens that Jsherman999 was selling ... it had literally ben posted just as I saw it. So I jumped at the opportunity of purchasing it.
After see in the Scoring 85mm thread I knew what this lens was capable of (in the right hands) ... also seeing the images Jay had posted up in the for sale thread as well ... I just knew I had to buy it (never look a gifthorse in the mouth).
I had just purchased the Super Takumar 135mm f/3.5 from him a couple of days prior ... so in a way I was lucky he was selling this as they both shipped to be at the same time ... W00T.
Still getting to grips with Stop-down metering ... i went outside and had a quick play with the 85mm on my K10D .. conditons weren't the best it was very overcast and it is very windy at home as well (hard to lock onto anything).
Here's just a few samples of the 85mm just after i unpacked it.
