I have an opportunity to get the Tak 35/2.3 so was wondering what would be a fair price for it, also for the 85/1.8 (it is Auto unfortunately so may not buy it if it ain't so good). I'll probably buy the Tak 35/2 down the road, I love messing about with the 35's as they are close to normal on my

There are two screwmount 85/1.8 lenses. The early one was an Auto Takumar (I think that's the designation) lens that required manual stopdown and was not very well considered. The second came late in the screwmount era. It's called the Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 85/1.8, and it's a great lens.

recommend the 35mm F3.5 SMCT, the 35mm F2 ST (67mm threaded version), or the SMCT 35mm F2 instead. JCO -Original Message- From: Gateway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 05, 2004 2:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Takumar 35/2.3 and 85/1.8 I was hoping
