    I was given a 'Strange' M42 screw lens years ago with some other gear -- it is a 'Fujita 135mm f4' , very small so I put it on a FTBn using the Canon 'P' adapter and ventured out into 'Sunny For Once ! ' BRENTWOOD England. I took a few on our metal 'Sculpture' depicting some 'History' of the area -- it picked out the subjects well and a plaque in Crown Street Brentwood. I may show a few more. FILM was outdated KB200 made in Croatia, processed in home-made ID11 Formula 1+1 for 12 mins @ 20oC.

    You got some very good results from that lens. It is a brand that I had not heard of so I went searching.
    If you are interested there is a single review over on pentaxforums.com: https://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/fujita-135mm-f45.html

    Craig, interesting photographs on the effects of the forces of nature and two views of the seascape. The performance of the lenses looks pretty good.

    Old Film Bloke, the photographs are full of detail, and the great development, many years ago, that I did not chemically reveal.

    Thanks for your comments, José. Tasmania is a island state, so we are gifted with a lot of coastal area, the furthest away from me is no more than a day trip away

    vivero 2.jpg vivero 4.jpg vivero 6.jpg [ATTACH = full] 12692 [/ ATTACH] [ATTACH = full] 12693 [/ ATTACH] [ATTACH = full] 12694 [/ ATTACH] He estado buscando los lentes de mi cámara desde que era soltero y finalmente los encontré. En las fotografías que utilizó el Takumar 50 mm 1: 1'4, con un anillo de extensión a velocidad 125 y f8, en la fotografía de los dedos.

    Las otras dos fotografías de las semillas de perejil, una con semillas y la otra sin semillas. Los hice con un Tamrom 90mm 1; 2.5, también a 1/125 f8, y los tres anillos de extensión.

    I am going to translate the text that accompanies the images, because when I send them the Spanish version.
    I've been looking for my camera lenses from when I was single, and I've finally found them. In the photographs I have used the Takumar 50 mm 1: 1'4, with an extension ring at 125 speed and f8, in the photograph of the fingers.

    The other two photographs of the parsley seeds, one with seeds and the other without. I made them with a Tamrom 90mm 1; 2.5 lens, also at 1/125 f8, and the three extension rings.

    A lovely series of images José, I have the Takumar 50 mm 1: 1'4 but unfortunately the lens is yellowed and I have not had the time or a UV light to correct it and leaving it in the sun, wrapped in foil at the moment is a little difficult. Given time I shall have it up and running, still a lovely lens. I have always wondered how this would go with black and white film using it the way it is and instead of a yellow filter.
