The 55/2 is a decent lens with nice bokeh. There's plenty of examples in the gallery. _________________ Graham - Moderator

If I'm not mistaken, anything you read or see regarding the SMC Takumar 1.8/55 also applies to the 2/55. Exact same optics, just a little aperture stop build in. |

There's no such thing as 'better' or 'worse' when it comes to 50mm lenses from the major makers, they are all more than good enough, they just vary in characteristics. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |
