What's there to ID? Clearly a MF Pentax, older, so 6x7, distance scale to 10m so 55mm focal distance, aperture scale is visible. So 6x7 Takumar 55/3.5. The small one is Super-Takumar 55/1.8. |

The 1.8/55 is a Super-Takumar, evidenced by "M" instead of "Man" aperture switch label.
There are plenty of smaller & larger lenses -- finding two with such close resemblance could prove difficult, impossible maybe?

Really? Auto has different DOF scale, and S-M-C does not use rounded lettering. Leaves Super.
edit: Ah-h - but opposite direction on aperture, so must be an Auto then.

Both lenses are 55mm, but the smaller is two stops faster. Who said that size matters?

I am seriously beginning to think my Small Bauble Revueflex 55/1.8 is a relabeled Takumar perhaps. The A/M switch looks a bit different though
As to the size comparison, it is certainly impressive, however about any MF lens is pretty large and massive. Especially those fitting Kiev/Hassle or Kiev/P6
It would be interesting to list those that aren't. The relabeled Biometar 80/2.8 perhaps? In its plastic casing with blue stripe it is at least not too heavy. |

As to the Exakta66, au contraire - it is plastic but much bigger than the original Biometar. |

Yes, the 6x7, a manly man's camera with manly man's lenses.

The comparison however is not that fair I should add after reading up. Its impressive miniaturity is obtained by a crop factor of "only" about 0.7xFF (44x33), while technically MF, this is not that much bigger than FF.
About the same pixel density as 10Mpix APSC, only 5 times the area.
While this will certainly make for impressive shots, the lens doesn't need to light as much area as the humble Biometar. So it is smaller for a reason. |

I may be missing something here but what does the 44x33mm format has to do with these lenses? |
