Takumar - wiki page

I am setting up a wiki-style information page for TAKUMAR lenses at camera-wiki.org

It is a work in progress, but any comments/criticisms/additions/discouragement are very welcome

Admin: Please move this thread if it's not allowed

Thanks

Thank you! I will reference that page heavily!
I also enjoy this link: List of Pentax products - Wikipedia

I just had a quick look and I am very impressed. When I have more time I will have a proper read

WOW!
I'd love to use your image in the page, and add a reference to it
The only way it works is that we only accept flickr photos that have been posted in the camera-wiki pool
Or in the PRESS VAN page http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Press_Van

You mean camera-wiki.org (with a hyphen), right?

Ok. I will do that !

Edit: I can't add the photo to the group camerawiki, because it is counting toward the photo's limit ! They should remove that limitation !

Impressive effort!

For completeness, I think a 'Takumar' page should also have the medium format 67 Taks (some of the best regarded Pentax lenses ever made), unless you want to make it explicitly for m42 lenses.

Interesting article, thanks for taking your time writing it. I never realized the SMC Takumar and Super-Multi-Coated Takumar are separate lens lines.
