I've got a black-bodied Spotmatic with the 8-element on the way. I
already own the Super-Multi-Coated and SMC Takumar versions. So, yes,
I could theoretically reproduce such a test (sans mountain haze) after
it arrives.

I don't understand how such a difference in depth of field can occur
due to differences in the optical configuration. I think it far more
likely

Great photographs are not totally dependent upon great equipment, but
that doesn't mean that there aren't differences in that equipment and

The earlier 8-element version was sought after by collectors for a while
because it didn't yellow with age, as the 7-element lens did. The 7-element
50/1.4 Takumar used thorium in (one?) rare-earth glass element, as did a couple
of other Takumars of the time.
I think the earlier lens was worse
Oh I see. Reading a bit on this there appears to be little quality
difference in pictures between the two optical formulas and that the 8
element is rare, and obviously more valuable. Pretty much as much as I
assumed. I guess if hybrids existed they would be rare yet and worth a
bit more.
On Tue,
I'm going to be the dumb guy here and ask is there any real major
differences between the 7 and 8 element version optically? IIRC the
earlier version is more desirable? Or do I have it the wrong way
around? I never got what the big deal was over the Takumar 50/1.4. I
have a M50/1.4 and its very, ve
That's true, J.C. but that is the part you are least likely to see
when looking at photos (online auctions, etc.)
The lens will either be on the camera or they will have a cap on the
back. Unless the seller knows what they actually have, in which case
somebody else can buy it.

FWIW,
The easiest way to tell a true 8 element is the rear glass element
protrudes unprotected. On the later 7 element versions the rear
element glass has a metal rim protecting it.

I'm not saying it is a hybrid, but that was what the OP called it.
The infrared mark is clearly a mistake. The wrong line is painted red.
Disassembly and reassembly have nothing to do with changing what lines
are painted what colors on a single part.
As an aside, I'm told via a comment on my Flick
Darren,
A 40+ year old hybrid lens nobody has ever discovered?
Lots of dis-assembly and re-assembly possible over the years.
In the old days, people paid VERY close attention and missed it?

Don't know how many will be interested in this, but it is kind of a
big deal if you are looking for the original 8 element Super Takumar
50mm f1.4 (or think you already own one).
It started when I found this photo on Flickr: 3 versions of Super
Takumar f1.4/50mm ?!
