Interesting lens, construction quality is subpar for Takumar and while lens is clean it is not of the same quality of Takumars of old. Iris blades were cleaned and work great
Color rendition is strange, and image quality is meh.
Produces interesting portraits but it was a budget lens at the time, and it shows
By an Auto-Takumar 55mm f2.2. Almost like the CZJ Biotar/Helios 44-2 swirl (and the lens is not that different in blades, design, front aperture set up). But it produces a smoother bokeh, with more subtle transitions, and is sharper corner to corner.
I took a lot of photos of this flower bed with many different lenses and this is one of my favourites. It matches the style of other people's Auto Tak 55mm 2.2 images I'd seen on the internet, a style that made me seek out and eventually find a lens to buy (over 5,000 miles away). It was worth it...
Claus. He wandered into my school one day. He was here on vacation and ambled in to inquire about teaching in Korea. Born in Denmark, he grew up in Africa somewhere (I forget exactly where), and is, for all intents and purposes, a native English speaker. Alas, he doesn't hold a passport from the 'Big Seven' - NZ, Oz, the US and UK, Ireland, S Africa and Canada - hence immigration here won't entertain the possibility. Unfortunate, as he had a good time here and we got on quite well.
Lens: Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 35mm f/2
