Stillness of a seasonal pond.You may have noticed I’ve been very inspired with my collection of Takumar lenses lately. Most belonged to my parents, but I took over the family SLR early in my life and haven’t really stopped! My folks’ kit became mine and I added some lenses from my uncle and a few I picked up back in Calgary. They are perfectly paired with my Asahi Pentax Spotmatics and now with an adapter and the Fuji X system I’m pretty much in heaven. A few weeks back an old friend who I haven’t seen in many years reached out via IG — he found an old Super Takumar 85mm f1.9 in his closet. Out of the blue, he wrote me to offer it up, having seen my #takumar hashtags. I was, and am, so struck by his thoughtfulness. Thank you @mikewatson.ca for your generous gift! I took the lens on a walk through the forest last weekend, and here is one of the first shots. This one’s for you, Mike — Cheers!Cold Lampin’
