Damnation. Now i need to do some calculations.

But generally, you would recommend this over the Meyer Orestegor that I have and believe is crap? ;D If i buy this, it would be instead of the Takumar I guess Surprised

I've not used the Meyer so can't really compare - Carsten or Attila can probably do a better comparison. It's a very good performer...

Some test shots on mine (has a yellowed lens element, which seems to be specific to mine)

I don't have the Orestor and never have tried it, but I rate the Telear 3.5/200 higher than the Pentacon 4/200 and the Jupiter-21M 4/200 when it comes to optical performance. The Jupiter-21 has a better building quality - well, it's built like a tank. Wink

I rate very close to Nikon bests!
