~If~ you can pick one up cheaply?  Kripes, what are they, like $10 on eBay?

Okay, maybe a few bucks more, but they go for a song and a dance.

I have two, both of which were on Spotties that I bought.  I also have a
Super Takumar 1.4 50mm.  I think the 2.0 55mm is a bit sharper.

Although, as Steve Larson astutely points out, at f1.4, the 1.4 50mm blows
the 2.0 55mm out of the water. <g>  But seriously, don't overlook the 55mm,
Cotty.  It's an excellent lens, just a buttery feel, sharp as hell, and
real cheap.

cheers,
frank
