I just won one of these on eBay for the absurd price of $9.95 plus shipping...There were no other bidders. It was listed under a Nikon lens search. I'm curious to know how this stacks up IQ wise. I'll be using it with an adapter on a Nikon...

Lookin' forward to your pictures Scott. I just picked up an SMCT 55/2 in a box of stuff. I've read it's the same lens as the 1.8 but with a disk in it to choke it down to f2.
I have a friend that did a lot of shooting with the 55/1.8 in K mount. His pictures were always better than what I got from my Canon 50/1.8. I found out why when I got another Canon 1.8. Sticky diaphragm in my original!

Hi Scott,
I've had one for 30 years. What can I say ? Superb, wonderful, first-class, etc. ad infinitum. My subjective opinion is that it beats the 50/1.4 Takumar.

I really like my copy of this lens on the Pentax K20... Really one of the unsung gems in the tak line IMO.
I do look forward to hearing / seeing how it does on the Nikon with the adaptor. Which Nikon and which adaptor, if you dont mind me asking?

I'll be shooting with it on a Nikon D70s. I have both the mechanical & optical adapters that I got off of eBay & I'll be trying it with both...
