Takumar club
Add to the M, K and Off Brand clubs: your Takumars! What works in setup, what doesn't work, and lots of lovely results!

To get started, here are some with a Super-Tak 50/1.4 plus 24mm extension tube, hand held at either 1/6th or 1/20th I took last night just for fun.

Those wide angle Takumars are excellent, I feel the need for some myself (I max out at 35mm). And I'm still kicking myself for not buying the 135/3.5 when the local store had one. Good photos, folks!

Here's an Auto-Takumar 55/1.8:

From the look of these posts, this is definitely the high-class club. I guess the reputation of this early glass is well-deserved!
