I've often (obviously just in recent years) have thought that you can have a photo contest where one tries to capture confused people trying to determine if they should pass in front of the person taking a selfie or behind them. It would be simple to capture the shot; all one would need to do is follow me as I am constantly dumbfounded by this scenario.
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.
Thanks for viewing and comment --- well, I rated film at 500 ASA because it was so outdated and with some other P3200 i used it gave good results BUT this batch seems to need even more exposure. I just set the 500ASA on the exposure meter and either use an 'Incident Light Reading' with the Weston Invercone OR use a Reflected light reading off the stone pavement or road surface. ( The KONICA Auto-Reflex TC I used had NO bateries as it took 2 of the now-illegal MERCURY 1.35 Volt types so I used a Weston Master V British Meter).
It was found even when FRESH that Kodak P3200 was not up to 'box speed' same as when Kodak brought out the 'new' Vericolor 160 for weddings -- I rated it at 125 ASA.
i was n ot striving for 'grain' as I knew it would be grainy -- just to use up some of that old film in my fridge with the Konica camera I had not used for a while.

Sell me on it. Why Pentax SMC Takumar?
