Latest Review Posted Takumar-A 70-200mm F4 Macro
I can't believe I only paid $15 Cdn for this thing. This is a great lens. Nice bokeh, colour, decent sharpness and macro's not bad either.
Some people tend to pooh pooh this lens because it's a Takumar and doesn't have SMC coatings. Funny, nobody else's lenses have Pentax SMC coatings either a no one gets too concerned about it.
As for CA, I've seen some of the newest lenses suck really bad and do far worse than this lens, so I just don't consider them to be an issue in this case.
I have some expensive gear and not so expensive gear and this lens regardless of price is just a joy to use. Photographed a couple of my daughters high school improve shows with it and got some great shots from the cheap seats. Took it on a little hike through a park and got some really fun close-ups and scenics. It might show slightly more flare wide open than say a $1,500 or $2,000 unit, but that can work to your advantage, otherwise use a hood or watch your angle to the sun.
Here's a couple shots of a fern front I shot handheld, wide open in open shade on the park walk.
This is just a fun lens to shoot with.
