These are my 35mm lenses presently on hand:



Asahi Super-Takumar F2, Minolta MD W.Rokkor F2.8, Minolta AF F2,
Topcon UV Topcor F3.5, Voigtlaender Ultron F1.7, Jupiter 12 F2.8, ISCO Westron F3.5,
Nikon Nikkor-S F2.8, MIR-1 (37mm) F2.8, Yashica Yashinon-DX F2.8.

I will report in another thread about their main differences in quality.

Good choice! But what I've seen so far on my sample shots the Voigtlaender is most probably the best wide open, although it's my fastest lens in 35mm; i.e. not even slow lenses like the Topcor can beat it also fully open when I look at the fully open crops of both lenses.

I love that Big Takumar in the back row.
Great collection, btw.

It's not bad either. Although it's quite a heavy and bulky beast.

Rick1779,

You are absulotely right. The Minolta is 12 gr. heavier than the Super Takumar (410 vs. 398). Wink

However, I don't have it. It seems to be a little bit less sharp than the "normal" F 2.8 version when stopped down. At least that are the findings from reports on the web. That was actually the reason why I never tried to find one, even in the "cheaper times", some years ago.

However, I am just preparing my big private 35mm lens test....

I'll look forward for that test! Wink
35mm has become my preferred focal lenght
