He didn't choose an easy subject. I guess not many lenses would do well here.

The sharpness is great though as the 100% crop shows.

I mainly wanted to test the bokeh, it's not easy to hold the lens in front of the camera (I know, I have to buy an M37 adapter Wink). Seems to be good for a 56 years old lens. When I will have the adapter, I'll compare it to the Industar 50-2 Smile

Ah great, which will be the better lens? The Tessar copy or the Elmar copy? Smile

By looking at these first shots, and what I remember from my Industar 50-2, the Takumar as an equivalent bokeh, but would be much sharper than the Industar wide open. Altough they have approximatively the same dimensions, the industar wieghs only ~100g Laughing
