"SX" pictured with the Nikon D3 and the
Pentax 50mm f/1.4 Super-Takumar in M42 mount.
The D3, in my opinion, is one of the greatest
digital cameras ever made in the brief, but exciting
history of digital. It is one of the few cameras I
seriously regret selling.
The Pentax 50mm f/1.4 Super-Takumar is a brilliant lens
for silly little money. It is a classic lens with excellent
sharpness and beautiful rendering and is a fine example of
Pentax's optical expertise, and under-appreciated value.
This image, more than for vanity (haha!), I think illustrates
my great love for adapting "weird" combinations of cameras and
lenses. It is something I have been doing way before the
"adapter" craze you see today, especially with the mirrorless
micro 4/3's and Sony NEX cameras.
We will touch on this topic and more in future articles on
my new blog.
