Hi everyone it's me the newbie with the newbie question again
I bought a pack of an old Spotmatic camera with 3 objectifs: SMC Takumar 28 3.5, 50 1.4 and 135 2.5 this morning with a cheap price and in a very good condition. The main reason is for the 28 3.5 because I'm looking for a cheap wide prime for street shooting which is currently lacking in my lens collection. Now for the 50 and 135 I'm trying to figure out whether to keep of sell them at a reasonable price because I have had the M50 1.7 and K 135 2.5 already, and while I have been slightly affected by LBA, I'm not resisting to selling lens at all, I only keep ones I like or I need, and sell the rest to fund for other interesting lens later
- The SMC Takumar 50 1.4: I hear good things about it, and it seems people are rating a certain version very high with ridiculous price (something like 8 elements, older version). Mine is later one, so it should be "normal" version. This one vs Pentax M 50 1.7, which one do you think is better? It has been raining cats and dogs in my city recently so I can only take some indoor pictures, can't tell much.
- The SMC Takumar 135 3.5: apart from its cute look and much lighter weight, base on review on Pentaxforums, I think it is not a debate between it and the Pentax K 135 2.5 so it is an easier decision
Also I read somewhere that these Takumar lens have some radioactive elements inside the lens, is that a risk? I guess not because why did they do it in the first place if that is the case?
Thank you
