Just got my first Takumar.
There's park on local University where many birds live there free.
I see some green CA with this lens. Focus rather stiff on far distance to infinity.
SOme shots





Here's young rooster in my backyard, close distance. I like the OOF area

Green fringing is typical for the longer Takumar lenses. At least for the Super and SMC Takumars; I never tried the older ones.

This is new information for me. I don't like fringin'. Even it's sharp enough. I think I'm gonna sell it

@poilu, I haven't use this lens again. But since you asked. I give you my other shot of stork. Here's with Sonnar 200/2,8 (This lens has same green Fringin' too)

It is still a very good lens, and the fringing only occurs in high contrast situation.

I had a 135mm that was really bad. The 200's that I had are definitely better.

I have the third one now, because each time I decide to sell it, and then I start to miss it, and buy another one again Laughing
