I have a mint Super Takumar f1.4 from my dads Spotmatic. Do you think it would be worth getting an adapter for it, and using it as a low light lens? Thing is I hear you can't leave the adapter on the lens.
Most definitely. Get the infinity type adapter that fits into the lens mount flange rather than the one that mounts on top of it. The adapter has a spring on it that locks it in place on the lens mount. To remove it you just have to release that spring (I use a small point ink pen) and it will twist right off. Other than that, you can leave the adapter on the lens, no problem. Some people around here shoot with nothing but takumar type lenses and can better advise you on the use than I can. With an M type lens (k mount no A setting on the aperture) you have to shoot in M mode and use stop down metering. With the Super Tak, you can set the lens to M and use Aperture Priority without stop down metering. I Do suggest getting an actual Pentax adapter though.
