ITS MY BEST BUY EVER !
this takumar is a hidden gem.
its not talked about as much as the others probably because its a zoom and not fast enough.
don't let that deceive you. THIS LENS IS OPTICALLY EXCELLENT - sharp , controls aberrations , easy to use , superbly built (takumar !! ) , suffers minimal purple fringing when the light hits a white background/lining/border on your subject at a sharp angle. can be removed using PP. i didn't bother doing that and all the uploads are straight from the camera.
HERE ARE A FEW SHOTS I TOOK THIS EVENING.
GENERALLY ISO 200-400 , F4-5.6-8 , 1/200-1/800
NOTICE THE PURPLE FRINGING ABOVE
   
thats my son :D

Definitely recommend this lens if you can grab one unto 75$.
Also my copy has a 2mm crack/scratch (not sure) on the centre element. So this is a broken lens producing good quality stuff.
Cheers.
