It's a fascinating lens. Its character changes a fair bit depending on aperture used.
I did snap a digital image or two on my Canon 60d when I had a chance, so I thought I'd share one of them. (More will follow later)
And a black and white render (Which I prefer)

On 24 MP FF the Takumar 2.3/35mm is VERY soft wide open, but stopped down things get better, and there are surprisingly little CAs (less than with contemporary Minolta 35mm lenses).
It certainly is a "character lens".

I actually started to collect Auto Takumars now, as I think they are immensely good value and produce a unique look. I also have an Auto Tak 55mm f2, which is great, and ordered a bragain 105mm. I would love to hear reports on other Auto Taks, if anybody can share?

My only concern is that it's too light, do you share this concern? Does a lighter lens usually signify lesser quality glass elements? |

Not really no. Mine is made entirely from metal, and mechanically it is as lovely as all the taks. _________________ https://www.rudolfkremers.com

Usually first post just shows up after a reply (anti-spam measure) but I don't see the markers. The picture upload is not totally intuitive. After you choose and upload and press send you have to complete with "standard" or "add another upload" it will display below the image. _________________ photos are moments frozen in time |
