Snapped with a Takumar 58mm f2. One of the oldest M42 Takumars, well over sixty years old.

With a Takumar 58mm f2.4.
I've not applied any PP to accentuate the effects here. Just a touch of lightening/darkening. The lens did the rest!
I've been working on a comparison of the Takumar 58mm f2.4 with the Takumar 58mm f2. (Both introduced in 1957). This is one of the many new photos I've taken for the review.
Hopefully, I'll be posting a YouTube video on this soon.
In the meantime, it's a similar scene to the Cosinon 50mm f1.7 photo I posted here:

Kew Railway Bridge on the Thames, built in 1869, photographed with a Super-Multi-Coated Fisheye Takumar 17mm f4.
...but it poured with rain a few hours later. Snapped with a Super-Takumar 24mm f3.5, stopped right down.
At the Natural History Muesum, with a Takumar 100mm f2 at f22.

With a SMC Takumar 55mm f1.8.
I've been taking a lot of photos with my Takumar 55mm's recently - for a new video. These lenses are a joy to use!
Asahi Super-Multi-Coated MACRO-Takumar 100mm f/4 on NIkon Z8 with Fotasy M42 adapter. This crop is about 20% of the original frame. (Ignore EXIF lens data – I had selected the wrong Non-CPU lens setting.) I've been a professional photographer since 1970 (retired now), and this 50+ year old lens is one of, if not THE sharpest lenses I've ever used.
