Which Pentax K 28/2.0 is this?

The only one there is...

Do old 30+ year old Canon EF film lenses count? I use my EF 28 f2.8 occasionally. It's actually pretty good, for the price.

I would say "legacy" or "vintage" lenses are pre-AF ones. I shoot some EF lenses on my S5 but I don't post the results here.

Everything which has no native L-Mount

I'd include Pentax F and FA lenses as you can't AF the screwdrive, they are around 30 years old also.

Even new Pentax lenses are vintage

Everything which has no native L-Mount

Those are non-native, the last Nikon F mount 70-200 with IS etc. is definitely not vintage nor legacy.

Lets be definitive , it means lenses made for film camera systems, for example Pentax FA counts as that range was the last made for film. The mount itself can't be the factor and any lenses made for digital should not be included.

Well that's me out then

There's no dictatorship, that's just what I assumed it to be. If your lens is 30 years old then it was made for film.

I like seeing non-native posted so feel free, we'll know the difference anyway.

You can say that again!

Though Contax Zeiss folk have the similar Distagon T* 28/2.0.

 

[robin0112358]

All shot on Lumix S5. Deliberate film look.

Schweppes with Contax Zeiss Planar 50/1.4 shot at f/2 I think.



Blossom with SMC Pentax 28/2 at f/2.

I owned that lens, it wasn't great, not as good as the K35 f3.5 but I sold both anyway.

The black MX is nice and sought after, I've a good silver one and another corroded one but it still works, they are tough but have a beautiful viewfinder

I just wrote up a blog article that continues my fascination with the Vivitar 135mm f/2.8 Auto Telephoto Close Focusing lens.

Interesting Lens and nice write up, there are some very interesting old 135's out there, I will be looking out for the Vivitar.
I enjoy the TAIR 11A 135 for it's 20 aperture blades and wild (Soviet) bokeh, I use it a lot, quick example from an all too brief bit of sunshine this afternoon, it's a very sharp lens even wide open, think mine is from early 80's M42 mount.

Over on Pentax forums I added the first ever review of the Cosina 55mm 1:1.2 MC. Stepped out into my front garden and took these at F2.8, which is the sweet spot for this lens. You can get a subject in focus, avoid that hazy look, and still render nice OOF regions.

It's rarer than, ahem, hen's teeth!

Really? When I read your blog I did my usual search and then stopped myself buying yet another MF 135mm lens to adapt. There was an FD Mount copy for sale, seems very reasonably priced £119, still for sale now if anyone wants the link.

OK, nice find. I checked several times in the last month and found exactly zero.

But also the hen's teeth comment was a joke. About the photo you provided! Hope that was obvious enough. ;-)

Obviously I was slow on the uptake.. had completely forgotten my hen photo!! If I already had an FD-L adaptor I probably wouldn't have been able to resist but I really need to stop the adaptor collection.
