I only have the 8 element version, I am planning to get an S-M-C version at some point, then for sure I'll do a head to head.
the version I have does not seem to handle flare vary well, I'll dig up a sample of it.

Here's a few of the SMC Takumar 50/1.4 I snapped just yesterday. You can see some from the "Super Takumar 50/1.4" here if you'd like: http://tesselator.gpmod.com/Images/_Image_By_Lens/Super_Takumar_50mm-F1.4/

Almost all of these SMC 50/1.4 images are shot wide open but one or maybe 2 were stopped down a bit:

Enjoy.

I seem to have missed this posts good shots!!!
PM incoming!

Thanks for keeping the thread alive, I haven't touched my Taks in a while, trying to sort things out with my new NEX7 has meant I don't get to play with my other stuff as much as I want, and the part of me that's waiting for a FF EVIL keeps telling me to not invest in NEX adapters, that I'd only be reselling them when the FF is announced.
I guess I will get some here and there as the need grows.

To bring this thread back. Bought a new Sigma SD15 which I will modify with a Sigmacumlaude mount replacement kit for Carl Zeiss Contax lenses. Until the replacement kit will arrive few shots with an adapter M42 to Sigma SA mount and few Takumare.

#1 and #2 with S-M-C Tak 1.8/85mm, #3 with Super Tak 3.5/135mm

Hi,

I haven't been here in a bit...missed a lot though!

rdst: Beautiful work with the florals; color & comp...

Beni: I enjoyed your early photos from your trip to the Holy Lands, and viewed the website (TJA). The word "stunning" just not even scratch the surface, as your images are truly captured from the heart and soul.

Best regards,

Edd

Today the weather was a little bit better than the last 2 or 3 weeks. A good chance for a short walk at our castle nearby and a visit at my favorite Italian icecream-maker.

All images with S-M-C-Fish-Eye-Takumar 4/17mm and Sigma SD15
