Hello everybody.
I'm going to change my 28mm (an Auto-Beroflex 28mm) I can get a Super Takumar 28mm f 3.5 or an Mir 10A 28mm f 3.5, both similar price.
Someone knows these two lenses?, which one is sharper?
I use a Praktica M42 and black and white film.
Thank you |

I'd also consider the Meyer Lydith 3.5/30, it's usually a lot cheaper than either of those lenses and is excellent. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

I wasn't impressed either of them Takumar or MIR, I vote for Lydith too or Pentacon 30mm. _________________ -------------------------------

Are you really looking for only sharpness?
Here are just a few other things to consider:
Mir's close focus is 0.2m. Takumar's is 0.4m.
Mir has star shaped aperture blades (like industar 61 L/Z or Volna-9). Takumar has traditional hexagon.
Mir is physically very large - 7.5cm long, 7cm wide, and 515g. Takumar is 4cm long, 5.5cm wide, and 212g.
Mir has 67mm filter threads and large front element. Takumar has 49mm filter threads and smaller front element.
Mir is a two-ring preset aperture system. Takumar is auto (with pin) or manual. |

Thank you all.
themoleman342, you are right, not only sharpness is important, in fact I'm considering many other factors. Thank you for your suggestions.
About the Meyer Lydith 3.5/30, I never heard about it before. I've been looking some pictures taken with it and I'm very impressed. And yes, it's much more cheaper than Mir and Takumar.
I've changed my mind and I think I will go for it.
Thank you. |

Both the Super-Tak and the Mir are single-coated. If you'd mentioned an SMC version , the Takumar would be a clear winner. The way it is, it's a tough choice. I'd probably go with the Mir for its collector/sentimental value, but IQ wise they're about the same.
