| Latest Review Posted | S-M-C/Super Takumar 35mm F2
This is FF review of the lens. I have two copies of this lens, Super Takumar V2 and S-M-C Takumar, both are optically mediocre, wide open sharpness is not good, maybe good enough for portret but 35mm lens is not really portret lens. By f4 lens become sharp enough in the center but FF corners are still poor, by f5.6-f8 there is sweet point of the lens, but corners are barely acceptable. There is also very visible field curvature. After achieving first one (super Tak version) i thought that I have lemon, but the second one (s-m-c version) which is in mint condition works the same way. Auto Takumar 35mm f2,3 and Takumar 35mm f3,5 are both much better lens. Both are at f5,6 very sharp across all FF frame.
Here is wide open photo with S-M-C Takumar 35mm f2
