Playing Catch with Freya and the 200 F3.5

Just got done playing catch with my dog Freya, thought you guys might enjoy a few photos. These were shot with my new Takumar 200mm F3.5 Preset. They were all shot wide open at f3.5.
Man it is hard manually focusing on such a fast object, especially when the focus ring has about a 360 degree adjustment! Some shots were out of focus, but I included them because I thought the snow in the air was interesting.
For those of you interested, I'm really enjoying the Takumar 200mm F3.5 lens. There is some CA in some shots, but it is easily fixable. The only photo I fixed some CA on was the first one. The focus ring is soooo smooth and precise, that with some practice, I think I'll be able to focus on fast moving objects (like Freya) pretty reliably, even wide open, which is a pretty shallow depth of field.
I'd really recommend you pick yourself up one!

just snapshots. Sometimes, you just have to know what to show
and what to hold back for your own use.
