Latest Review Posted Super-Takumar/Auto-Takumar/Takumar 135mm F3.5
I have the version with the cocking lever. This lens seems to go under the radar a little bit and might deserve more attention since it obtains the smooth, beautiful image characteristics of the other lenses with 5 elements in 4 groups-Super Takumar 120 2.8/105 2.8/85 1.9 and the M85 2, and, the variant but similar M 100 2.8. It will get you surprisingly great results once you give it a chance. It is very sharp at all apertures and there is nothing to report in the way of problems image wise. It is as clean, free from ca as my 37AM and better than my 135 2.5 S-M-C Takumar. Mechanically it is a superior lens. Even though mine is in mint condition, the aperture ring is just a bit stiff, but it is a minor issue. Auto Taks tend to suffer from a little stiffness sometimes, but, still, they are mechanically sound lenses with a great build. I would prefer the lens to be a tad bit bigger. I've never cared for the slender design of some of the 135s. I'm sure many folks are opposite and would love the demure size of this one. As with all good lenses, when put to proper use, this lens is a winner.
