Latest Review Posted Bellows-Takumar/Super-Multi-Coated Bellows Takumar 100mm F4
This lens is rather difficult to review. Optically it is a great lens. It's the same as the 100mm f/4 macro. As such it deserves a similar rating.


However, you cannot use it as-is. It needs at least 37mm of extension to focus to infinity (minimum bellows length) and 138mm of extension to get to 1:1 reproduction.


As such you probably won't use it as a walkaround macro.


Now can you fault a Bellows-Takumar for needing a bellows unit? ;)


I'm still not sure, but I've deducted 1 point to reflect this dilemma.


Particularly recommended for your (tabletop) studio work.
