You're getting some good results with that 20, Paul.

Everything is closed except the park, so I took the grandsons for a hike. Next time maybe we will bring supplies and have a cookout. SMC Takumar 55mm f/2.

Okay, I'm in the peculiar situation of having both 55/2.0 Super-Takumar and SMC Takumar lenses. Eventually I guess I oughta decide which to keep. This didn't really make it easier...

The Japanese magnolia is with the SMC (@ f2.8), the daffodils with the Super Tak (@ f4.0).

The Japanese magnolia is with the SMC (@ f2.8), the daffodils with the Super Tak (@ f4.0).

To help, I would try a variety of scenarios involving a tripod.

Pick the same flower, a still wind day. Tripod up, take some wide open, f2.8 and f4, compare.

Pick a landscape scene, f8 tripod up, compare. (do some into the sun also, compare contrast/flare etc)

Otherwise its very hard to compare lenses.

Thanks. I've just been too lazy to be scientific...yet.
