Originally posted by Arjay Bee I have one of those lens and agree with you - great short tele lens and renders beautifully - congrats on the purchase! You will enjoy this one once you get the adapter working - You will now be eligible to post on the Takumar thread and have now started your collection of Takumar lenses.
And boriscleto said that my 150mm Takumar needed some 50s to keep it company.
Did you guys wish another lens on me?
Hello, everyone.
My collection of Takumars, now stands at 2. The second lens being added quite fortuitously.
A friend of mine recently asked me if I wanted his old camera. I asked, "What brand is it?" he replied, "A Pentax."
He gave me an old Honeywell Pentax camera, and mounted on the front was an Auto Takumar 55mm 2.2 screw mount lens!
I couldn't believe it!
Here are a couple of photos of the lens. The first one is entitled, "Takumar and tools." The second one is called, "Takumar, Tools and Tomato," I had to get some color in the second shot.
I took a few test shots with the Takumar, and the results look extremely sharp.
I want to do some further tests before I post anything, but I love the small size of this lens.
More to come.
Both photos made with my Pentax 100mm M macro, and treated in Lightroom. The EXIF is incorrect regarding the lens focal length.
