Takumar-A 28mm F2.8 prime lens. This picture comprises about 27% of the frame. Even on an APS-C sensor a 28mm lens is not the obvious choice for this kind of sports picture! I had no time to adjust anything and the 1/500 shutter speed left from a previous picture had to do. Come to think of it, 1/500 was the fastest the old medium format leaf shutters could manage and sports photographers took some fabulous pictures in those days.
