Originally posted by Na Horuk Ah, interesting. Most reviews seems to say the old version is inferior, and that's the one I think I have. I don't mind, I got a nice square Pentax knock-off hood for it, too
I have a Takumar Bayonet 28/2.8, which is supposedly very budget, lacking coatings, and really inferior
... though lately I see examples on eBay for almost $200, which is weird...
I have read that it's much like the early M, except for the M's coatings - and I love it. Maybe it needs a bit of a saturation, contrast, and warmth boost in post (not always) but that's easy - and might be improved by the hood I bought recently anyway.
