Originally posted by Colorado CJ Sounds like a good deal to me. Just not sure if I need it since I already have the 50mm f1.7
I'm the wrong person to speechify about 'need' as I recently acquired my 50th Fifty. And I have 5 each of 50mm and 55mm in f/1.7-1.8 from various makers: Chinon, Mamiya, Meyer, Olympus, Pentax, Petri, Ricoh, Yashica. But I can tell you that the M50 and Tak55 are rather different lenses, at least to my fading eyes and worn hands. Different feel and handling, different bokeh and rendering and wide-open performance, that sort of stuff. They just
taste different.
Yeah, be careful. Once you have both of those, you'll just want more!
[I may have a chance next week to set out all my Fifty's for a group portrait. Gotta wait for the house to empty for a couple hours...]
