Equipment Type: Lens
Equipment Brand: Pentax
Equipment Model: Super-Takumar 50mm f/1.4 (with actual-photo and sample-shot)
Price (S$): 170
Description:
This Super-Takumar 50mm f1.4 (m42 mount, metal focusing-ring) needs no introduction.
This gem is still very much sought after and for good reason.
You can read more about it on the Pentax forum: HERE
Here are some excerpts in case you are too lazy to click on the above link:
"This is a great lens, with superb sharpness, specially at intermediate apertures. It's great for shooting portraits, due to it's apertures. Great lens, a must have for every Pentax user."
"The best lens I ever had. It is all the more unbelievable especially since it is almost 40 years old. Sharp, crisp, lively... Both the resolution and the contrast are high. There is nothing related to image quality which makes me say "I wish it was..."."
"Have two of these. Brilliant lens in all aspects. Probably one of the best normal prime. The built quality is simply superb such as the pictures it can capture (both on digital and film). The only negatives: they do not make lenses like this any more, and it is becoming more and more rare and pricey."
___________________________________________
Condition is a conservative 9/10. Reason being there are some slight user-marks on the barrel, which naturally does not affect the image-quality at all.
Lens is absolutely fungus and scratch free. Kept in dry-cabinet when not in use. Micro-dust within the lens but that's a common problem and does not affect image quality at all.
Focus-ring is silky-smooth, dampening is superb as expected from a Super-Takumar.
Aperture ring clicks solidly at each value, aperture blades are snappy and oil-free.
Aside from the mild and very slight user-marks on the exterior, lens is pretty much impeccably maintained. Used very carefully and well-cared for.
Personally, I love this lens. But I'm clearing out my dry-cabinet as I'm saving up for and expecting more range-finding gear.

Here's a recent shot with this lens. IRRC, it was shot at f/1.8. It's fast, sharp, contrasty, compact, built like a tank and an absolute joy to focus with - what more can one ask for?
