Pentax SMC Takumar 50mm F1.4:Now, what can one say about these legandary lenses? During the 60's and 70's, All Pentax cameras ran off the M42 mount lens system, and it was during this period that the legandary Asahi Pentax Takumar lenses were manufactured. Up to this day, they are sought after for their great qualities, and there is a vibrant market out there for these gems. We found this to be a super fast excellent quality lens, which can stand it's ground against the icons, like the Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolars. This lens is not that sharp wide open, but hit f2 and it's tack sharp. We have yet to encounter Chroma in any picture. This is one of the lenses which would hit the Sigma SD9/10's dust protector when focussing to infinity. Supplied with some Pentax Spotmatic cameras, availability is reasonable but they fetch very good prices.
