A quick wide open snapshot from my newly arrived $35 "BGN" grade SMC Takumar 135 mm f/3.5. How I wish the Pentax optical designers made the MFD a bit closer.

Totally, 1m/3' would be nice.
I'm eagerly waiting for an 85/1.9 to round out my set.

Super-Tak 28/3.5 Early version

Super-Tak 50/1.4 early 8 element version, I love the lens but it's flare is a bit strong.

My new Super-Tak 85/1.9 Sharp and has great color.

(I'm editing on a newer uncalibrated pc/monitor setup, vs. my laptop, so things still look a bit off)

I'd like to see some shots from the Super Takumar or SMC Takumar 35mm f/2 lens on a full frame SLR.

I have the former one but it appears to be discolored yellow. In looking to get another one I want to make sure it is worth it.

No. What is the simplest treatment that you can recommend? I live in the Northwest so the natural sunlight approach does not work.

i've heard a cheap UV LED flashlight will do the trick faster than sunlight even places where you actually see the sun.

Are you talking about the reflection is yellow? thats normal, but if it's yellow when looking through the lens, then it needs treatment.

Pictures taken with the lens have a yellow tint/cast. The lens is radioactive and the radioactive material has decayed enough to change the color of the transmitted light.

Can you recommend a model? What should I be looking for in terms of UV power output? also how long do I treat the lens in this manner?

Thanks
