Asahi-Kogaku takumar 50mm f3.5 preset. Shots taken wide open. The picture of the lens was with my Cell Phone. Shots taken with my Fuji X-E2.

A bit early for me to make a judgement, but i'm enjoying the experience of the lens, and it seems extremely well built for a 1950's lens.
















And some examples processed.









Enjoy!

Looks nice - and uncommon. You did well to spot it - but be assured that "well built" lenses were by no means uncommon in the 1950s.

And congratulations on your splendid set of Leitz extension tubes and adapters Smile

Thanks. I was comparing it to the leica summar, and canon 50mm 1.9 etc , perhaps not a fair compassion.
