Tonight I took a picture of the moon, out the window with my Pentacon auto 4/200 MC. This is what the moon looks like. The settings were, 1/1000 s, f/8, ISO 1600.
The photo is cropped — the moon is quite small even at that focal length and with 1.6 crop factor.
Today I received a package with a new addtion to my collection of manual focus lenses for my Canon EOS 350D. It is the Pentax Asahi Super-Takumar 1.4/50 — I believe it to be the best in my collection, and I am confident that it is sharper than the Canon kit lens. It is definitely faster with a max aperture of 1/1.4. The shutter often complains that it can not go faster than 1/4000 s. Then I just stop down to 1/2.8 which probably is its sharpest state.
