I think I'm falling in love with Auto-Takumar range  105mm, as almost any other vintage manual pairs very well with Nikon Z6II.

Auto-Takumars are all nice, especially the black and silver versions.

This guy likes the 4/4 formulation better, but based on his examples, I find the color/contrast/sharpness to be significantly better on the 4/5. To each his own, I suppose.
I've never used the Auto versions but have used the Super and S-M-C versions. Fine lenses indeed, but have the misfortune of being in the same class as the magnificent Nikkor 105/2.5s, which just produce beautiful images, and to which they come up just slightly short. Build and size edge does go to the Taks, though. |

it looks to me very similar to a lot of older lenses, I think yashica's 5cm f2 comes very near and some of Meyers too.
Imo, It can be used as a character lens where the object needs sharpens and busy bubbly background.
If a photographer is in the portraits this could be a nice addition.
For hobby, like on the pictures, walks in the nature ...
I suspect in utterly urban situation only BW could be pleasant.
all in all, i think this piece could be the typical collectors lens; 'i have it and you dont..'

Old formula's have a more vintage feel to them. A nice glow and smoother bokeh and more faded colors. That is why they are higher valued by a lot of people than more modern version which may produce technically better images but lack the character that is added by flaws in the older designs.
This is a sample with the predecessor of the Auto-Takumar, the Takumar 105mm 1:2.8 (very small with a 46mm filter thread)

I agree completely. I have the old black and silver Takumar 105, and I like it better than my Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 105.
The newer lens is perfectly good - better than that, even - but the old one has the vintage magic. |
