Late Version M42 smc takumar 50mm f/1.4
Asking Price
$100, now price reduced to $90
Item Description
This is a used 50mm f/1.4 smc takumar lens.
This version is a late version so I believe the smc
coating is much better than the early version, which
is a good news for those people use dslr.
Optically this lens is perfect. Clean glasses without any
scratches, fungus, cleaning marks, oils or anything.
Tiny dust inside which doesn't affect image quality.
Cosmetially please see photos, just normal sign
of used, nothing wrong. Blades are clean and free
of oil. 8 blades means that you can get a great boken!
The only issue (if you called it an issue) is the
auto-manual switch is always locked in auto. I don't
know why but didn't push it hard. It would affect anything whether you used film or dslr with adapter.
It will come with a free 49mm UV filter, front and
back caps.
This is very sharp lens even wide open. Boken is
beautiful. Pictures please see my another sale,
those pictures of 85-210mm are
taken by this lens.

Noticed I really push the lens to
extreme light situation (hand-hold, low light and
f=1.4, exposure time is around 1/10 sec), and see
the sharpness and boken.
All in a word, a f/1.4 lens in $100 price, especially in this
crazy days with steep pricing FA 50mm 1.4 and DA* 55mm 1.4,
only pentax takumar!!!
BTW: Even in image quality I don't believe this lens will
lose to those more expensive ones.
I will have interests to trade with a 43mm plus cash from me.
