| Latest Review Posted | Takumar 135mm F2.5 Bayonet
My copy does not indicate where made and has some small dust particles inside as well as a little fungus around the part of the circumference, (only a problem on full frame bodies maybe?).
Colour is not very vibrant and contrast is good rather than excellent. The hood is not tight and can wobble a bit.
The combination of lacking SMC, the bit of fungus and small dust particles may be to blame for colour and contrast being not excellent.
I would have liked it to be with an "A" setting on the aperture like my Tamron 135 F2.5 with an "A" adaptall mount. Much easier to use than green button metering.
I actually do like it though, nice and sharp, good enough wide open and probably sharper than my Tamron Adaptall 135mm F2.5.
I may have paid over the odds for this considering the condition but do not regret it, a little pp work makes a lot of difference to the images and I need to get some practice in. |
