I’ve always enjoyed the rendering of those old SMC Takumars and pre-AI Nikons. There’s just something about them, both the images they capture as well as the physical characteristics of the lenses. It’s so much easier manually focusing with them in comparison to modern primes, but that also has to do with the brighter and larger viewfinders of film cameras, paired with split or micro prism focusing screens.
