My selection of manual lenses

[AndyWest]

Here's my selection of manual lenses:

The Manual lenses are as follows:
Far left: Helios 135mm f2.8 Prime
Attached to Canon 40D: Helios 44 2 [58mm f2] Prime
At the back: Carl Zeiss 135mm f3.5 Sona MC Jena Prime
In front of the Zeiss: Left: Olympus Zuiko 28mm f2.8 Prime (Awesome lens)
In front of the Zeiss: Right: Olympus Zuiko 50mm f1.4 Prime (Another awesome lens)
Front row: Left: S-M-C Takumar 35mm f2 Prime (Possibly my favorite manual lens)
Front row: Middle: Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 Prime
Front row: Right: Super Takumar 28mm f3.5 Prime

Far left you can see the adapter that is used for attaching the lens to the camera. All lenses are M42 fitting except the Olympus which are OM fitting so they need a different adapter all available cheaply from Ebay or Amazon.

Hi Andy - the 35mm Takumar would be very nice ...when I was shooting Pentax I always wanted but never got one. I do have a very nice Takumar SMC 210 prime (cracking portrait lens) . I also have both those Oly' Zuikos but have no use for them with my current Olympus E-series.
