I tried a ST 24 mm, oldest ST 3,5/28, ST 1,4/50 (7 and 8 elements), S-M-C 1,4/50, SMC 1,4/50, SMC 2,8/105, SMC 2,5/135 2nd V., ST 3,5/135, Tajumar 5,6/200.
Now I only have a SMC 1,4/50. I like to add a SMC 2/35 and one 85 any version.

The filter always produced a bit of lost of IQ.
The best filter (B&W, Heliopan, etc), the less lost.
The filter add surfaces of glass. More surfaces, more reflections. More reflections less IQ.
The lenses without MC have more internal reflections than the MC ones. And the SC (non MC) have less reflections than the non coarted at all (previous to the end of the II WW).
Good luck. Your 105 is a great lens.

SLIDES
Put the ISO at 200 (if you use a 100 film)
To take a pic, meter only the high lights of the scene. For all the subjects more clear than the 18 % gray target (= to the average brown of the trees), open 1/2 aperture more. Except: white subjects, open 1 aperture.
Subjects equal to 18% gray, the meter reading without correction.

There are two classes of photographies.
1-The technical, in which there are admired the technical virtues of the lens used.
2-The artistic ones, where it appreciates the sensibility of the photographer.

Do you like the ol non coated lenses (previous to 1946/50) try the tessar 6,3/150 lf lens.
That lens is for someone who saids that the old non coated can't be saturated and contrast. The older tessar design lenses have only 6 surfaces air-glass, so can be contrast, in the facts, there are some.

With white balance, all is ok.
But here I suposse that we are talking about the characteristic of the lenses themselves, without consider what can we do, or not, with PP process.
By the other hand, I have seen a lot of images, in comparision tests, and the yellowed takumar lens produce a yellowish image, more than another lenses there were in the tests too.
Of course, all depend of the yellow cast deep. If the cast is very light, you are right, the image could be not affected. But when the cast is more strong, the IQ is highly affected.

1- Respect the S-M-C, none, it's better (to me)
2- Respect the S.T.,
a) The 8 el. has less or not yellowish cast at all. It's very important. As you know, the yellowish cast and the virtual necesity of put the lens under UV light (or similar) time to time, is one of the few cons of the S.T. 7 elements lens.
And if you don't do this, the image can lose the IQ natural of the takumars lenses.
b) The 8 el. has more resolution power (only a bit, but there is).
c) The 8 el. has better bokeh.
c) Marginally, the 8 el. is less common than the 7 ones, and that improves the interest over it and increases the resale value.
The S-M-C (and SMC too) is over all the S.T., 8 or 7 el.
And my choice among the S.T.s is the 8 el. because all that I said before.
Regards.

All fine lenses, buy them now, in the next time will increase the price.
2/35 (PRO and SMC), S-M-C and 8 elements 1,4/50, any 1,8-1,9/85, SMC 2,8/105, 2,5/135 V.2.
For my taste they are the best takumars to buy now.

I'm not disgusting about the cats. I don't eat them. I have not that cultural habit, have others. I (living in Argentina) eat a lot of caw's, pork's meet. When I see the animal's intestines before they go to the barbakoa, I ask miself if is it disgusting to me.
It's nice to know anothers habits, with respect. The same as we like to have from the others.

Mike, thanks
I always be happy to see your pics. They are so nice !!!!
With your most used lenses 2/35, 1,8/55, 85 and 2,8/105. Short range to greats pics.
Only one thing is inside my head and wanto to ask you. Why do you not use 1,4/50 ? Excuse me, but it seems to me like a very good lens for your usually work showed here.
Thanks again.
Rino.

Hi V5planet.
Your pics are greats, and your 105 lens (like mine) was borned to portraits (people, animals, plants and things ones).
Very nice colors rendering. Not the sharpest lens ever made, of course. My son in law told me that his 2,5/135 6 elements is sharper, but for portraits no the sharper please.
Congrats.

Very nioce pic. Good colors and 3D.
I like my flektogon 2,4/35, but the tak 2/35 like me more and more and more.
I noted that both have nice colors, of course. But the tak has a punch in resolution power that I donīt see in the flekt.
Now I can't but in the fuiture i see a tak 2/35 in my way.

If the focal lenght to use in all about diary lerns is into the 28-85 mm, the option for me is Takumar glass.
And among the takumar my option should be a 1,4/50 (I prefer the SMC or the first 8 elements) or the 2/35 (any version). Both are greats lens.
I use the SMC tak 1,4/50, because in reflex cams I like the perspective of the 50 mm more than the 35 mm (the opposite in RF cams).
In 35 mm lens I have the 2,4/35 flektogon, but I prefer the takumar 2/35, by far.

Hi zxaar.
I read your post and desagree. You can say anything you want, of course. No doubts about it.
But if you take a portrait (starting at the fact that it's a portrait lens) from 1,5 m to 2,5 m, the difference in DOF is very small. I think that this difference not change the pic that you have in your mind.
I found that a lot of people love the softness of the J-9 (me too), and it's really soft at F/2 and "kill" to SMC 105 for the same softness. Both lenses are sharp from F/4.
Perhaps when the pic isn't a portrait is better the use of the 135 lens or the 200 one.
And if the look for is about an all pourpose lens, the 85 may be the choice to do.
For me, the all around lens is the S-M-C 1,4/50. Itīs good to me add a portrait lens and a tele one, in the 300/400 range.
Rino.

Hi Ira.
I saw a lot of mick's pics and didn't watch any problem with the 105s. It's a nice lens to me. Really not as sharp as the 85 (specially the SMC 1,8 version, the best for me). A few days ago, I saw a comparison among the SMC tak 105 and the nikkor one. The differences were subtles and not for the nikkor in all the cases. At F/ 2,8, the nikkor won. But not at 5,6.
The 105 not so bad, man. :lol: :lol:
Yes, I know, the tests are relative things, but they give us an idea of the lens rendering.
My best regards, Rino.
