Re: Takumar 135mm f3.5 - Recent Review

I only sold mine with a Vivitar 2x TC quite recently. It was the second lens I bought for my S1a in the 1960's. I did use it occasionally on the K7 - it was actually very easy to use in AV mode. The AF confirm worked up to f8 & the exposures were spot on. For old times sake I just tried the

GESO feeding time at the nest

I happened to notice Mombird feeding when I could grab my camera. K-3ii, sigma 50-500 with a slight boost from a speedlight https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157668797139698 A couple of the shots are a bit rough technically, but I caught interesting moments. -- Larry Colen

RE: Takumar 135mm f3.5 - Recent Review

I have the Super-Takumar 135/3.5 and do use it occasionally on digital. I also have an excellent Vivitar 135/1.9, which gives very good results, especially considering its maximum aperture, and that it was designed in the early 70's! John in Brisbane -Original Message- From: PDML

Re: Takumar 135mm f3.5 - Recent Review

I have the super-multi-coated takumar 135. It’s on one of my Spotmatics. I haven’t tried it on the K-1 but should. I did try the super-multi-coated takumar 35/3.5 on my K-5. It was excellent. Still have that one as well. Paul > On May 9, 2018, at 6:43 PM, Mark C wrote:

I think there is such a big multitude of parameters in photography that one can learn some new aspects even after many years of experience. I am sure that even world-renown photographers can learn some new techniques in the areas of photography (genres) that they haven't worked in. So, if a

Re: OT iBook G4 to recycle

If it's like my 12" G4 Powerbook, no quick way. That design buried the HDD inside requiring much disassembly to reach. If you can get it booted from an old Mac OS X DVD you can use the Format app to do a security format where it overwrites the entire disk with several passes of data patterns

My old G4 has not worked for a while, its old and slow so i'm going to take it the town s bi yearly recycle program but want the HD removed fro security reasons. The online videos on how to do this say it could take up to an hour or more. Any other way just to get it out faster Dave --
