Takumar-A 28-80mm Zoom manual lens for you old schoolers. Pulled this one out of my late father's camera bag. A vintage manual zoom fitted with a reversing ring. I have found that reverse rings do not work well with lenses designed for today's DSLRs. Manual lenses give better control over over aperture and focus. This was shot at 50mm and f/8.0 on a Canon 5DMKII. Still practicing this form of macro photography.
