I have the SMC Takumar version of this ( better because you can use it on both M42 and K bodies) and it is an incredible quality lens, very sharp and contrasty and will focus to 20ft even at 600mm which is pretty close indeed. Only drawback to it is the tripod mount is too close to the body but since it isnt super heavy that isnt that big a deal on a monopod, but for a tripod I would recommend a counterweight on the body to balance the rigging. I paid $1000 for mine about 2 years ago. JCO
