Hi Joe, In a way, it sounds like a lop-sided trade. The SMC usually fetches more. But I have both and understand why you might want the 1:1 version. But it is slow working with the preset aperture and all. The nice thing is the easy conversion for flash exposure compensation due to the markings.
You might actually do well selling the SMC and chasing up a Macro-Tak with the money. ppro > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Joe Wilensky > Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 10:36 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Macro Takumar for trade? > > > > I have a Super-Multicoated-Takumar 50mm f4 screwmount lens (goes to > 1:2 on its own, to 1:1 with an extension tube).
