SuperMite

Dust Mite helps me play with my “new” Pentax Super-Takumar f1.8 55mm lens. It’s not much more than “play”, because the Super-Tak is a screwmount lens and my *istDS is a K-mount camera, so, at least until the screwmount adapter arrives, I take pictures by holding the lens in place in front of the camera with one hand, holding the camera with another hand, and focusing the lens with another hand. Since this requires more hands than I’ve actually got, it makes the process somewhat less than the non-precision operation it was before the f1.2 lens started to disassemble itself.
