Yes, it is. And very sharp, as well.

All of those images are perfect examples of what the old Taks can do on digital cameras. Very well done and TFS.
Those are my two favourite Takumars. Thanks.

I don't care. That is not a crime. And it helped to make it an outstanding image.

Here is one with the screw mount, manual focus, preset Macro-Takumar f4.0 50mm on my K10D. The positive side of this self isolating is that I am getting to use some of my old Takumar lenses. (X posted)

That looks very much three dimensional. It's a great lens. And I also have one.

Back in March last year (2019) we were discussing how to link to images stored on Google Photos. The intention was to find an alternative to using Flickr and it is now getting my attention again as Flickr is again raising its rates for PRO accounts to the point where I am questioning if such membership is really worth it.
At that time I posted an alternative method which worked:
Your problems are over, Dave. My previously mentioned method seems to get around the privacy issue related to Google Photos.
Please give this a try to see if it works for you:
1. Choose your Google Photos image and click on the Share icon.
2. Click on Create Link and then click on Copy.
3. Go to Embed Google Photos in your Website in your browser
4. Paste the copied link into the box that says “PASTE GOOGLE PHOTOS LINK HERE” and click on “GENERATE CODE”.
5. When the code is generated it will then automatically scroll down
6. Copy the link under “Direct Link (URL)”
7. In your forum post, click on the “Insert Image” icon (mountains and sun) and paste the copied link.
8. Click on “Preview Post” and your image should be there.
I'll be waiting to see if I can hear the echo when you say "YES!".
Read more at: Takumar club - Page 1082 - PentaxForums.com
I have just tried it again and it is not working for me. I am sure that I am doing exactly what worked previously but it seems not to.
I'll paste a generated link below to see if you can see the image. I certainly don't see it when I preview the post.
Ahah! It now seems to be working. I can now see the image in the preview and I am happy to be proved wrong. Not sure why my other tests did not work.
I am glad that the above instructions still work as they may help others who also wish to escape from the clutches of Flickr. For me down here is Australia a two year PRO subscription to Flickr will cost me AU$172.50 and that just seems a bit steep. I will miss Flickr but I'll learn to love without it. I'll use Google Photos with its free unlimited storage for the size images I use.
I would be interested to hear your comments.

Here are those instructions again:
1. Choose your Google Photos image and click on the Share icon.
2. Click on Create Link and then click on Copy.
3. Go to your Embed Google Photos in your Website in your browser
4. Paste the copied link into the box that says “PASTE GOOGLE PHOTOS LINK HERE” and click on “GENERATE CODE”.

Well, I won't try it on my K10D then. :D Just kidding, I wasn't going to try it on my K10D. My Takumars work just fine on my K10D in either AV (my normal shooting mode) or M. I frequently use TAV mode on my K-3 but I hardly ever use TAV on the K10D as I prefer to keep its ISO at 100.
I was recently offered a very nice M-series 50mm f1.4 but I decided against it as it would only work in Manual. Being able to mount it directly had some appeal but not being able to use AV worked against it. Plus the fact that I already have three Super-Tak 50mm f1.4 lenses that work quite well with my genuine M42 adapter. I was quite proud of how I controlled my LBA in this situation. However, the M lens is owned by a close neighbour and it is still available if I ever have a relapse.
I am very impressed with what you have achieved above, Dave. Your persistence in finding such a solution is worthy of high praise.
