I have an opportunity to buy the non-SMC Suoer Takumar 135/3.5. Any thoughts on this lens? Would it be better to get an SMC? Samples would be most appreciated if anyone has any. For use on 5D and Scarlet. Thank you! |

Excellent lens, what Takumar isn't?  On a very close par with the famous CZJ 135/3.5. Marginally weaker coating than the SMC version, but not enough to make a noticeable difference. It might even be preferable to the SMC if you're using it in an EOS adapter with an inner flange as the aperture ring won't jam.

I would get it! I have the 2.5 version and love it's smooth focus.

I think try it -- you can sell later if not like, meanwhile look to find S-M-C to compare for yourself -- S-M-C cost more.

Hi Arturo,
I have the Super and Super-Multi-Coated versions of the 135/3.5 Takumar. I have never taken any comparison photos, because both the lenses seem to me almost indistinguishable in sharpness. Maybe the former one has a bit less contrast but it can be easily equalized in post-processing. As the older Super Takumar was half the price of the later one, I tend to use it more - I just do not hesitate to take it out to the "bad weather"

Here are two recent color shots:
and two black&whites:

Optically, there are two versions of the Super Takumar 135mm/3.5 lens. The first had a cemented doublet as the rear element, while the second had a single rear element.
