Nice shots. Na miss ko tuloy 50mm. Okay naman yung focusing ring nya...smooth? Take it out some more on good light and static subjects and see what it can do.
Congrats on the purchase. Yes Baguio is pretty cool. Early dawn/late afternoon even better fogs roll in and lights go play along sloping hills.
I miss being a resident.
Thanks. Medyo hooked nga ako ngayon sa vintage primes. Not that i am walking away from the new glasses and the zooms pero the way these old ones work and how the sooc photos came out are very pleasing to me. Just bumped the blacks a bit on lightroom yun na.
Isa pang masarap sa Baguio ay kahit anong takbo ang gawin ko, di ako pinapawisan hehe. Hingal nga lang dahil sa altitude.
May topak tong copy ko ng helios. The aperture gets stuck sometimes at kailangan ko buksan sa likod to do some tweaking. Minsan babalik yung topak kaya may baon akong screw driver para buksan. The focus ring also gets gritty when youre nearing the infinity marker. Minsan sa ibang distance point jumpy sya bigla yung parang biglang mag loose tapos tatalon yung focusing. I suspect dried grease or too much dust has accumulated. Ibang iba yung feeling sa super takumar na una kong nahawakan. For 1.5k pirchase, di na ko magrereklamo sa binilan ko. I plan to take it back to hidalgo and have the old guys look at it, maybe watch as they dismantle it para ako na lang sa maintenance next time, nakarating na ko 2nd lens element sa likod eh, nilinis ko na nga. Ayoko lang full dismantling sa ngayon baka maloko pa.
I love it for being heavy btw. Solid built e.
May list na din akong binubuo for those vintage primes na gusto ko kolektahin hehe.
