In reply to Mohammad Jasim Uddin. The one reviewed and samples shown is not of MC (Multi coated) but Super version not SMC, I suppose

Hi Lee,
Thanks for the SMC Super Takumar 55mm-f1.8 lens comprehensive review. I live here in Brisbane, Australia.

I got two SMC Super Takumar. The early zebra version and the Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 1:1.8/55 5290689 Asahi Optical Company, Japan. Both lenses produce eye-pleasing results. The colour rendering, centre sharpness, contrast, and bokeh are fantastic.

I think this should be called “A true Art lens.” By the way, great review, mate!

In reply to Br Stone. Sorry Br, I have no idea about this! It's been a while since I researched for this post.
