Adding to my album of photos with the rare Takumar 58mm f2.

This Sonnar design lens, made in the late 1950s, produces lovely colours. It's not bitingly sharp wide open, and the bokeh is a bit hit and miss. It's not surprising (to me) that Takumar replaced this lens with the Auto-Takumar 55mm f1.8

The Heliar Takumar on a Asahiflex I don't know how to operate and a King Grip with flash mount so I can look like a paparazzi. It is m37 but I have bought a m37 to m42 adapter as well.

Captured with an Asahi SMC Takumar 50mm 1:1.8 @ f/1.8

One of the earliest M42 Takumar lenses, made from 1957.

It has a preset mechanism, 10 blades, with 5 elements in 5 groups in a Gaussian design.

Other fast fifties produced by Pentax (Takumar) at this time include a Sonnar design 58mm f2; a Heliar type 58mm f2.4; and the elusive 55mm f1.8 preset lens with a Gaussian (Ultron) design.

These were followed later (from 1958) by the Auto-Takumars.

A comparison of the different Takumars found that the Takumar 55mm f2.2 has "stunning center performance" and that's my experience to date too.

Auto-Takumar 55mm 1:2.2

Auto-Takumar 35mm 1:3.5 The lens is decentered to the left but that is barely noticable by F8 (but very wide open).

Made for only around one year from 1958, this camera came between the 'AP' and the K. Its short production run makes it quite a rare camera.

Attached is a Takumar 55mm f2.2 preset lens - the standard lens sold with the camera.

Photographed with a Macro Takumar 50mm f4.

Subject is an unharvested and wilted artichoke flower from our garden and that has made it all though the winter to end up in this state. Soon to come down for new growth.
