Originally posted by HoutHans Aha, I noticed the very similar images in the Takumar thread so I'm guessing you used the takumar alongside the -series? Which do you like best and did you use the same aperture on both lenses? If you'd ask me, the stars on the K-series are nicer; in the last picture of the series, they're much more defined in the K and a bit muddled in the takumar.
Noticed quite well!
For this application I found it easier to work with the K. Also, as you noted, the strbursts are way nicer with the K... I used same settings but different cameras (K-50 for K and K-S1 for Takumar f8 / 6-8 seconds exp / 100 ISO.
They're both quite sharp, but I find the Tak to remain sharper through the shot, where the K kinda drops a bit at the corners even on cropped sensor.
I love the tak for bokeh shots... I love the K for Sharp-shooting
