Decided to burn a roll of B&W 35mm today which I havent done in ages. Heres a shot ( sorry overcast skies ) taken with the Mamiya-Sekor SX 21mm F4. (screwmount). I used tmax 400 and shot at 1/125 F8 First time I used this one for B&W.

You can even make out the bricks in the center of the building on the big scan. Great Lens, ( terrible weather ). For kicks I shot from the same place using the Super-Takumar 35mm F2 (67mm thread version). BTW, this is my fav. screwmount 35mm focal length lens.

The geometric distortion is almost nil. I didnt do a comparison against the bow wow 20mm Super-Tak (next time) but I bet it kicks it's butt. I've mentioned this before: For those of you seeking a good screwmount in the 20mm range I recommend this lens highly. Warning: It cant be used on a K mount body because it doesnt have an auto/manual switch ( although you could epoxy the aperture pin in the "in" position if you really had to put it on a k body I guess) JCO - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
