Vintage Optics

I first stumbled upon PBase a few years ago when I was looking for sample images from some modern, readily available lenses. I believe there are many more people seeking such material than just myself. And since representative and well described samples from 30-40 years old lenses are much harder to come by on the web, I thought that posting some images taken with lenses I am currently testing could possibly serve some informational purpose (even if their aesthetic value is dubious ;-)). All the lenses and the settings used are described to the best of my knowledge under each photo.

So far in the gallery:
Pentax 55mm f/1.8 smc Takumar
Nikon 50mm f/2 pre ai (not listed in the database on PBase)
Straight from Yorkshire Vespa In Flight In the Kitchen Cemetery Bench
Lone Rider Chums My humble self
