Owner reviews: SMC Takumar 50 mm f/ 1.4

ProfHankD 05.01.2016 23:39:35
Period of use: 72 months

Strengths:

Deservedly famous for bokeh, very well built, small, sharp, fast, good flare resistance, and relatively cheap.


Weaknesses:

This version has a mechanical conflict with the M42 adapters that include a stop-down ledge so that it cannot focus to infinity on those adapters. It works fine on ones without the ledge.

Not as good IQ on a focal reducer (due to field curvature?).


Comments:

A really nice lens in just about every way.
