Any difference between the 55mm f2.2 Auto-Takumar black aperture ring vs. silver?

@Garacha222 3 ай бұрын

I would try to solve the aperture access difficulty problem by sacrificing a stack filters that have the glass removed. They would give your fingers some breathing room, and act as a bit of a hood. Perfect it by avoiding vignette when attached to a full frame camera. I try not to overdo it too close to reaching vignetting, just in case the light transmission from different front element areas contribute to the final image. Probably good advice to have at least a high quality thread filter be the one that attaches to the lens. (Best to avoid degradation of a valued vintage lens’s filter/hood thread. Crappy/cheap filter with junky threading are no bargain when damaging treasured lenses). I just picked up one of these lenses, and found this review. Unfortunately, I didn’t read eBay description well enough to see that disclosure of mould colony near rear element. I’m searching for rear disassembly instructions so as to not destroy the lens. I refuse to attach it to any cameras until resolution of mould. Mould is like Covid… don’t want to spread this living organism to any camera, and ultimately to other lenses as well. Thanks for posting such a wonderful video, as well as the one comparing to Helios

It's good to know that the CA is kept to a minimum. I have a Takumar 300mm f4 and the CA on that particular lens is atrocious. Extreme colour fringing and so much of it. Often, you don't even need to zoom into the picture that much to see it. And I haven't been very successful in getting rid of all of it with software. I think I'll sell that lens.

which is the big lens from the two?

@Orionshield1948 10 ай бұрын

For my use it would be for wide field astrophotography with a dedicated CMOS cooled camera. The distortion looks good but I wonder how it would perform as you view to the edge of field and minimize chromatic abberation. I have a Rokinon 85mm F/1.4 which performs awful, as you move further away from center of field star shapes become seagulls, even well stopped down. I am hoping the 85mm Takumar may be a satisfactory candidate.

Great video man! Quick preference question for you. If both in excellent condition, would you rather have the Helios 44M or a Super Takumar 50mm 1.4 if you could only have one? Let's assume you have an adapter as well as a speed-booster to an APS-C camera. Thank you.

@tomaspofilms Жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for the question. I would go with Takumar, since it is more versatile imo. Helios have a particular look and a lot of character some scenes of Batman were filmed with Helios modified lens.

Perhaps it's fairer to say the Takumar 55mm F2 lens' virtues are more subtle? For a start it was made in the Tomioka plant (not by Asahi) under contract, and they are renowned for their superb and superior lenses. There is a delicacy in the rendering of fine detail and perhaps more dimensionalty presence than with the other Taks? It is particularly good at handling lustrous reflective highlights, and the single coating's rendering has a lovely soft colour feel. It's nickname in Japan is Ma-Ki-E, means 'feeding fish', which is not a compliment. Exhibit-B the Helios- 44-2 by comparison is your drunken party bud...full of life in broad strokes and gushing with vitality, if a bit sloppy... So it's a sober Summicron to a Zeiss on vodka comparison as it were. After my first excursion out with the Tak 55 F2, I was smitten by it's charms.

In the case of USSR lenses, you always have to remember that they can be poorly assembled. Sometimes you will choose a good one out of 5 helios. Such a (well-assembled) Helios is a great lens. :)

Hello Tomas. I just watched this Japanese KZfaq video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8iHZKp42LndhHU.html) in which the vlogger claims the auto-Takumar 55mm f2 lens was made by Tomioka. An interesting idea, certainly, but I'd like to see some documentation of the fact.

@williambolton5679 2 жыл бұрын

Good videos, Tomas, but not enough of them about vintage lenses, especially the Takumars. I have a good collection of Taks. I've been collecting them for years. What I've noticed about the uncoated auto-Takumars specifically the 35 f3.5, the 55 f2, and the 55 f2.2, is that tonal gradation seems to be smoother. This particularly makes for amazing skies under the right conditions, early or late light and some clouds. The later lens coatings make the lenses more "contrasty" which gives an appearance of greater sharpness (acutance?) and perhaps more saturated colors but compresses the tones causing the subtle transitions to be lost. Or that's how it seems to me. If anyone would like to offer feedback about this, I'd be interested to read it. I've never seen a mention of this before.

@tomaspofilms 2 жыл бұрын

There is never enough of them :)). I agree with. Non coated version seems to have more pleasent bokeh, but keeps the same sharpness as the multicoated ones. They are not as much contrasty as smc lenses, but I often reduce the contrast in post when filming with midern lenses, so for me it has pleanty enough. Just they are flaring a lot (non multi coated ones)

@jimschmidt7303 2 жыл бұрын

I am curious if others have to adjust exposure compensation with this lens. I am using this lens on a Pentax KS-1 crop sensor camera and have used it on an older Pentax K10D. For this lens and a few other M42 lenses they drastically over expose the images and I have to set exposure compensation to at least -2.0. Thanks
