The 28mm F:3.5 Super Takumar is a magnificent optic. You will be very pleased. Paul Perkins

Whoops - I didn't catch the F:2.8 maximum aperture on the 28mm. I've no experience with that lens... Only the 28mm F:3.5 Super Takumar. Paul

I'm interested more in telephoto than in wide angle. I like to take pictures of birds and fuzzy animals, with all that implies. The bottom level telephoto for shooting bird would be 200mm. The 200mm F:4.0 Super Takumar is a beautiful piece of telephoto design that will do well.

WOW I agree that #01 is the best. I can't tell you how delighted I am to see really fine images done with a thread mount Spotmatic of similar vintage to my own. I also appreciate your information on how you scanned the negatives. Beautiful work!!! Paul

85mm F:1.8 Auto Takumar

Anyone familiar with, or actually an owner of one of these lenses? I think they were made 1960 - 62. Filter size 55mm. Semi-auto diaphragm. How's the optical performance as compared to the later F:1.9 Super Takumar in thread mount? Paul

Hello, The more I looked at it, the less inclined I was to attempt dismantling a 200mm F:4.0 Super Takumar. It got sent back... Paul
