Thanks again.
Oh, I'm sorry, but I really can't quantify the admittedly ambiguous characteristics of the various lenses to which I referred.
It's just a
feeling I got. I think I liked the plain old Super Takumar because of the
golden cast, IE: yellowing. The S-M-C, SMC, K, and M variants are
cleaner, almost sanitized compared to a slightly yellowed Super Tak.
It's kind of like headphones... While a high end set of Sennheiser phones may accurately reproduce sound, without muddling or coloring it... Sometimes, colored, some say muddied, overly bass heavy sounds coming out of some vintage cans is nice. Like Digital Audio vs. Vinyl.
I'm certain you can't go wrong with any of these lenses, as they're all quite amazing.
Regards,
Mike
