Asahi Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 1.8/85 M42

A classic of Asahi's lenses and one of the best performing Takumar portaitlenses.

Very reliable too in all kind on cicumstances. Fine control of flare, distortions and color rendition.

in this folder I have 140 samples of this lens:

Stunning series.
The 'cows in the snow' and the 'b/w blurred dancing' are my favs. Very Happy

Wow, all great photos Tobias, but the cows one is a masterpiece, one of your best (in my opinion)!

Fantastic photos! really amazing work. 9 and 14 really stuck out to me -- which isn't to say that the others aren't fantastic as well. they're all stunning.

as always a fascinating mix from you Tobias which not only shows the great quality of the lens, but again even more so of the photographer
