Takumar Beauty -- Super-Takumar 50mm f/1.4 8-element on close up

2014-07-14
When I get home from work, I see the neighbor's flower for more testing opportunity with the 8-element lens. The super-takumar is colorful and have very good contrast even at wider apertures

In f/2.0 with a close up +4 filter.





Likely in f/2.0 without close up

Wide open in f/1.4 without close up



at f/2.0 without close up.
The good color from this lens makes the visual pop on the subject. I hate to use the over-hyped wording but I do see the 3-D look from this lens. I love its smooth off focus rendering. I am trying to find something to complain about the lens -- some fringing and some glowing edgess at wider aperture but nothing can be taken away for its great color and bokeh.

I love how this test shows the lens’s character through real flower photos rather than just listing specifications. The rich colors, contrast, smooth bokeh, and slight glow at wider apertures make the differences easy to appreciate. It reminds me of Monkey Mart where small details also make the overall experience more enjoyable.
