For those who might be interested the current edition of Popular
Photography has feature called "Shoot into the Sun." Which features
a series of beautifully exposed with good color saturation razor sharp
and surprisingly flare free photographs. What camera and lenses made
these photographs? The latest Cannon, or Nikon wonder camera with their
renowned lenses? Perhaps some DSLR replete with digital magic?
No not at all. All of these photographs were produced on good old Kodachrome,
(OK not so old Kodachrome II, but still...), loaded into a Spotmatic II using
various SMC Takumar lenses. Yes a 35 year old camera with 30 year old lenses.
