Ah, that old film look. I have forgotten what that looks like. What is a Zeiss Jena? I used to own a ME Super. I enjoyed that camera.

The Vancouver Chamber of Commerce could well utilize your output. Bravo!

I did a quick overview on the lens on Wikipedia. Then I went to B&H to see if it is available and read the reviews. It appears that the Takumar design has been discontinued but they are still available on ebay (and reasonable priced at that) . But I need to read up more on this before I can make any kind of decision. On B&H the few reviews that I read on the Pentax are saying that the 100mm struggles with CA, which was my struggles with this photo. I did find some Groups on Flickr that feature Takumar and will peruse it some later this evening.

Sell me on it. Why Pentax SMC Takumar?

No star filter - When it is stopped down to 5.6 or higher the Zeiss 28mm delivers the 9 pointed stars naturally. Thanks for your question!

It happened a few weeks before we were there. I was wondering if this was the actual bridge.

I was amazed at the detail that the camera caught behind the transparent drapes that were red. What I was seeing, and what came out in the color shot (https://www.flickr.com/photos/damessenjah/34335502412/in/dateposted/) was just the red with very little detail of what was behind the drapes.

I agree. I think my mistake was made at the time I took the shot. I should have point metered instead of averaging. I tried adjusting in post but to no avail.

That was what I was trying for. The girl is my daughter and the guy her 4th grade crush. I was trying to document the moment and pull out a subject in the midst of a crowd.

Bit better here -- the RED trousers catch the eye.

Could also have been a 'Busy' Picture BUT the couple in the middle catch the eye well.

The White surround means the people are too dark.

looks like LONDON -- can see Lambeth Palace tower on the left-- many Chinese get wedding photos taken in London but when I did weddings all they wanted to do was to get to the BAR and FOOD and not worry too much about PHOTOS!!

Wow !! A COMMENT at last !! I never get any 'comments' on this site -- I was thinking it was a waste of time posting ! In reply : the LENS used is WRONG somehow in the details -- it was my 180mm f4 CFi Sonnar T* NOT the 80mm so I was further away than 3 meters.
Regarding COLOUR -- it was on E6 transparency film which I do NOT process myself so take it to a lab. I DO process a lot of my C41 to 'Exhibition Size' 16x12 inches but for small 6x4" I take films to a lab on our town main street where they do an excellent job with colour balance and C41 negative quality. In Philippines, Cebu Images Camera Club friends use labs in Cebu City -- I had some E6 done once many years ago but their C41 quality is not so good !
