Hi,
Thanks for taking a look. I really havent tested this lens yet. I just wanted to post a few quick samples from the yard. I like what I see so far. To be honest, Im expecting this lens to shine.

The second picture exploits the shallow DoF best, I think. Very nice! |

It could be one of the best "modern" M42 lenses in the 50mm range. Very interesting. |

Nice, very nice pics.
The lens is a fujica, and EBC (9 or 11 layers or so). A bit warm, like the 1,8/55 EBC.
Compared both 1,4 (SMC vs. EBC) Which win? Both are greats lenses.

Thanks everyone for taking a look.
The Takumar lenses are very nice, I own a handful. We see all kinds of test shots from the Taks and we all hold them with high regard. We dont see enough of the Fujinon EBC glass on these boards. These lenses have a huge cult following and have built up some what of a LEGEND status. And rightly so...
I like my EBC glass a bit more than my Tak glass.
I have the 55 1.8 Tak, it's a nice lens but my EBC seems a bit more sharp.  We could do some comparisons to find the truth. I'm sure many would be surprised by the results.
The bokeh is on the same level as the Tak, smooth and sweet.
I dont have the Tak 1.4 so I cant make a call on these two. I would expect the same results.
