Hello People.
I'm a Takumar fan (well among other lenses), and I wonder how I did not post here at all, since the many years I registered this forum.
Congratulation for the nice photographs.
I hope to participate soon (after resolving my backlog).
Currently I'm struggling on disassembly and cleaning of a s-m-c Takumar 135mm f/3.5 that had fungus and slow diaphragm.
Takumars are nice, but their construction are a bit complicated. I would rather tinker on Carl Zeiss Jena lenses than Takumar...
Not out of the woods yet.
parts everywhere on the desk...
Aaargh.
Cheers.
