Round the Bend

... That's how I've been feeling the 135mm of this Takumar has been driving me lately, so I figured this might be an appropriate image with which to close the month. I do love the lens though, and it will be staying in my camera bag - just not on the camera all the time.

Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 1:3.5/135 at f/5.6, on Pentax K-30. Un-metered, and no test shots, I might add.

I was also a bit struck by the (a little weird, it seems to me) shape of the diaphragm blades on my Soligor when I affixed it to the camera this morning.
