Small Change Stares

K100D, 135mm F2.5 handheld at f2.5, 1/90sec iso 800

Old 135mm Manual Takumar lens I just got

Lili, white balance seems a bit yellow and perhaps some brightening is in order?

And perhaps some extra sharpening of the eyes to enhance the focus point.

Skippy,
That is interesting, on my huge 17" wide screen laptop this image showed beautifully.
On my work Monitor it looke flat.
I punched up the contrast a bit.
She was sitting in mixed lighting, tungsten and open shade so I settled for white balancing of the fur on her nose, whih is white.

Nice shot! These old takumars are surprisingly good! I own an old 135/2.8 Olympus OM lens, which is great too. But I always thought about this 135 takumar. I heard only good about them.

BTW, I agree with Skippy. It seems to be a bit dark on my laptop.

Pavel, these old lenses do havea unique look to their images, don't they?
One cannot fault the contstruction either, built like tanks!
I adjusted the image, is that better?

Lili, I like it now, nice cat although I like dogs more than cats

You're right about the old lenses, I have a 30 years old 50mm Nikkor lens, this one's shot on film with that veteran lens.

Thanks Skippy,
Cool shot, nice bokeh.
I love the image qualities with the older lenses, particularly in B&W
I will be a concert venue next week; taking the k100d with the 50mm/1.4 FA and the Takumar 135/2.5
High ISO/Fast lens goodness

It certainly is a nice lens, I don't use mine often enough.

Fishric,
Nice shot!
I find the lens to be really nice, especially if I up the sharpening and Contrast a tad
