Fixing screw-mount Takumar at home
Brian Ayling from Australia found his own way to repair old screw-mount Takumar 50mm F1.4 normal prime that was heavily affected by the glass yellowing. Fast and easy. Ouch!

What I am really wondering about is how he did these photos.
He said they were done with a Spotmatic, but is this possible?
Is it possible or probable to shot such a sequence and get this result?

There were motor drives for Spotmatics…

I feel sorry for a piece of artwork destroyed like this :-( Glass yellowing is not a crime for a death sentence, is it?

Seeing that made me hurt inside… RIP :(
