Hmmm. Interesting. Looking forward to seeing an outdoor sample from that one. I have the SMC-M 200 f4.0; 200 is a pretty big gun on a M4/3 body, so I'd only loosely been looking at the 200mm Taks.

Took the 200mm Super Tak f4 out for a run today with less than ideal lighting. As you would expect sharpness is there color fringing is about what you would expect. Impressive.

Who knew that water pipes needed to be so colorful?

Takumar 105mm f2.8 @ f8.0. Edited and cropped from RAW in PSE; adjusted for WB and exposure.

Up here, blue usually indicates natural gas piping.

Whoops. You know, that's probably true. I made the assumption of water due to the bore size.

After looking at that one for a long time last night, and then a long time again this morning, I'm convinced that this is the best photograph I've ever seen on this entire forum. One of the best I've seen anywhere on the internet in ages. In my opinion it's a masterpiece.

Just got my Super Takumar 55mm f1.8 yesterday too late to do some outdoor shooting when I got it but decided to try it with my go to model (My Cat) using my speedlite pretty sweet lens. I might have a new favorite here

Just the 55m f1.8 got a test in overcast lighting and all I have to say is "HOLY BOKEH"

Great comparison of the two lenses.

If I had to choose I'd go for the 135/2.5 (v2) - such a great lens.
