Latest Review Posted | S-M-C/Super Takumar 200mm F4 I've had this SMC Takumar for 1 year, got it from a forum member. I had to take it apart because it was fungus ridden, but now it's free of problems. I didn't use it much, though, because I'm not that much of a tele shooter.
Optically, it's superb, even at f/4, although it has longitudinal color aberration (green in the background bokeh and magenta in the foreground). Its bokeh qualities are amazing, at almost any aperture.
I know people say that APS-C is better because you get longer reach with telephoto lenses, but honestly, I like the angle of view better on film.
And as usual, some photos to complement my review.
