It's about Auto Takumar 58/ 2, the Sonar formula. This lens is expensive compared to other lenses in the same range of focal lengths and apertures. I have the Auto Takumar 58 / 2.4 (Heliar formula) and an Auto Takumar 55 / 2.2 (Ultron formula?) besides other 50s. Is it wise to spend money on a Sonar Auto Takumar, too? _________________ http://www.adlightstill.smugmug.com

I'm not sure but I think it is the only ever manufactured Sonnar-design normal lens for a 35mm SLR? _________________ (my normal account password still on another computer) |

So the lens is expensive just because it is a rare lens, not because it offers a special rendering. Did I understand well? _________________ http://www.adlightstill.smugmug.com |

It is the only Sonnar standard lens for SLR. For rangefinder, there are lots of Sonnar type lens from German, ex-USSR and Japaneses. For SLR users, it might be very special but may not for rangefinder users. _________________ https://lensfever.com/

The 58/2 lens has a very specific rendering that sets it apart:

The 58/2.4 has a less distinctive look but I think its bokeh at f/4.0 is one of the most beautiful you can see:
Cheers!

I would say also instead of only. The f2.4 is a Heliar formula. _________________ ☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮ like attracts like! ☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮☮

... "The big highlight of this lens lies in its extremely soft bokeh" Google translate from the previous link.
I just removed this lens from the shopping list (mainly because of the price too high for a 50mm/f2), now after this specification I think I will put it back.
If I understand well, the lens is a kind of Volna 9, or vice versa. _________________ http://www.adlightstill.smugmug.com |
