I recently bought a Super-Takumar 50mm f/1.4 to use on my D90 with an infinity focus adapter. Results are interesting. Wide open, it is very soft and the focus doesn't seem to correlate with what I see through the view finder. I'm not sure if this is the lens or the adapter. Despite this, wide open it has unusual qualities which I like, things seem to glow and look almost more like a painting than a photo.
And, of course, the Bokeh...

Re-visiting old photo files from 2015.
I used to photograph these café tables a lot with my most recent lens acquisitions. Sadly, the café closed a few years ago. But I still have many posted and unposted images to remember the old times!
Here's my YouTube review of the lens:
Having fun with processing an image from this old lens. I used a detail extractor plus adjusted the colour contrasts. But no other filters were used in this shot - the lens produced the effects.
After a series of images from a Carl Zeiss Ultron 50mm f1.8, here's another Ultron-design lens, a SMC Takumar 55mm f1.8.
The flare control of the lens, with its super-multi-coatings, is very good for its age. This is my Friday Flare #30 - nearly into the sun, with purple fills, but with no visible flare artifacts.
Playing around with a shot from a Takumar 200mm f3.5. I've been writing a review of the Takumar and taking a lot more photos with this old beast recently.
