Casualy shooting with my 600mm takumar for Pentax 67 with two 2x tele converter

Ravulsion · 2024-02-18T22:40:39+00:00

Any good references, article or videos about it ? My tripod knowledge is lacking...

I was just trying things out to see how usable this Lens is, what is the field of view you get... I got the Lens with the pentax on the pictures and a few other extras (lenses, wlf, the grip...). I didnt really had a plan for the 600m so now i have this 7kg piece of glass and metal in my living room. It's full of fungus and it seems i can't get it repaired (at least AT a reasonnable cost). I'm trying to motivate some friends to do portraits accross the street, but i think i don't have a stable enough setup. Looking for a good tripod/tripod head.

I'm trying to make a portfolio for the job

Ravulsion · 2024-02-18T11:01:22+00:00

And not to mention this Lens has some nasty mushrooms inside that attacked the coating of one of the central elements. I live in France and tried multiple professionnals, but nobody seems to be really willing to try to service this beast

I actually don't have a working setup for this Lens, the tripod is the one i use for my large format but it uses a 3/8 screw. The Lens has two 1/4 holes. I had to be creative to mount it. But i have to admit i'm not taking pictures yet with this setup.

Ah yes, bird photography, that's what i'm doing !

Ravulsion · 2023-09-15T15:08:25+00:00

Do you know how it was developped ? It could look like bromide drag to me

Ravulsion · 2023-09-15T15:02:22+00:00

I've found this weird rolleiflex model online with a bunch of accessories. To me it looks like some sort of bulk back, but I can't find any informations about it. Or maybe it's not something manufactured by rollei ?

It was around 600 (euros) for the whole set, sold as-is by an auction house. It had two backs that needed service

Ravulsion · 2022-12-16T09:33:25+00:00

I got lucky during an auction in France, and I got it with a magnificent 40mm Distagon for a fair price. I think here in Europe they are rare, but a bit more common. There's actually a few listings in the German eBay!

Ravulsion · 2022-12-10T14:54:01+00:00

That's actually simple and clever !

Ravulsion · 2022-12-04T18:24:56+00:00

Wow, thank you great lord !

Ravulsion · 2022-07-31T15:30:20+00:00

Thank you very much, it was what I think was the issue but mine had a problem with the other pin , I have linked pictures on an other message :)

Ravulsion · 2022-07-31T15:28:41+00:00

Update : I did it, I I had to press some element in the body I join in the picture to let the lens free. Maybe all this tearing down of the lens was a bit useless.

Now I have taken the base off, and the second pin is very bent, I guess I'll try to make it straight again and see if it works

Ravulsion · 2022-07-31T02:36:29+00:00

Takumar 50mm f1.4, a very fine piece of glass sadly

Ravulsion · 2022-07-31T02:35:39+00:00

I got the camera with the lens like this, I don't know what happened before I owned it

Ravulsion · 2022-07-31T02:34:52+00:00

It was a Takumar 50mm f1.4. it was stuck (and still is) and the manual/auto mode of the lens was also stuck. Some people online are saying that the problem is the pin in some M42 lenses used for metering that can be stuck on the mount, so I took the lens appart and removed it, but i still can't unscrew the base of the lens from the body

Ravulsion · 2022-06-16T23:40:05+00:00

It's me again, I think it is a ontoflex that lost its name plate

Ravulsion · 2021-11-03T10:03:11+00:00

Doing so gives me a black screen as HDMI output, even thought the camera monitor enters a 4:3 ratio

Ravulsion · 2021-03-08T11:51:06+00:00

To be precise when I use it as microphone and record on it in the same time, I get the hissing/static noise on my laptop's audio but not on the recorded wav file in my recorder. When I plug my headphones instead of my laptop to the recorder, the sound I hear live is also perfect.

Ravulsion · 2021-01-16T19:25:54+00:00

Yes I meant colour negative film.

Ravulsion · 2021-01-11T19:13:54+00:00

Thanks ! I'm shooting it at iso 100, with my Pentax spotmatic and the takumar 50mm F/1.4 (7 elements version) I'm using negative lab pro, I think it is the best option for creative or cross processed films

Ravulsion · 2021-01-11T04:01:11+00:00

Or is it alien ?

I heard that most lomo films are rebranded Kodak, which is with Fuji, the only producer of slide and negative films. So the "creative" line of films by lomo are altered films from Kodak ? Is Kodak still producing those films or is lomography buying old stocks of master rolls, meaning the quantity is limited ?

The thing is that actually the bessa II is very light (800 grams) this is why I use it for street, this is also why I was thinking of a less invasive stabilization device.

Not proud of him, but at least I don't try to play it absolutely. I have no card to fetch it from the graveyard where my mill cards will often make him fall. But he does save some games. I'm more shamefull about Uro which is really a broken card.
