I also own the Pentax 50mm 1:1 macro, which is also a great lens, but to be perfectly honest, I actually prefer this 100mm for the simple reason that it's a 100mm lens, which means that I can use far more of the available light because the lens isn't right on top of the subject being photographed. Hard to find, recessed lens means more prone to haze/fungus if not taken care of Tak-sharp, built to last, smooth focus, great bokeh Overall, it was worth waiting for a $100 user to try this, but it competes well at $200 with other macros I have seen. Focus was consistently easier to get right with this lens than with most of my other manual lenses, I'm not sure why. No flare has been seen, which makes sense given the recessing of the front element. Up to head-and-shoulders portraits it seems to maintain the IQ, although by infinity it's less impressive (more like an 8 or 9). Colors are a bit flat and large-scale contrast is low, but that is trivially fixed in PP (as I did for the above image) and it actually makes it a little less likely a color channel will saturate. Macros with this lens are simply excellent, even wide open:īokeh are quite smooth and sharpness is outstanding. No macro is fast enough to compete with my Samyang 85mm f/1.4, and f/4 is still fine for portraits, etc. A macro lens that isn't with you doesn't help much, so that's not a bad design decision. This lens is tiny for a 100mm macro, and I get the feeling that f/4 was at least in part a compromise to make it so portable. After a month, my feelings about it are the same only stronger it would be the perfect photos-for-eBay lens (ideal for product photography). ![]() When I posted this, I had only played with it for an hour or so on 14MP APS-C. This is for a "user" SMC version - definitely rough external condition, but apparently flawless in operation. Sharpness: 10 Aberrations: 9 Bokeh: 9 Handling: 9 Value: 9 Only 1:2, only f/4, lowish large-scale contrast wants PP Thanks to twice the minimum focusing distance the 1:4/100 model is better suited for professional macro shooting: the housing of the lens does not cast a shadow on the subject and is far enough to not to scare the insects and make them run away from the frame. If you will ask me how can you compare this lens with 1:4/50 model, then, in my opinion, the image quality that can be obtained when using these macro lenses is more or less the same. The maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 is the same as that of most of modern macro lenses with similar focal lengths of 90 mm. There are no visible optical aberrations with the APS-C sensor. The background blur is soft and smooth even taking into account that this is not a fast lens. Mechanically and optically the lens does not leave to be desired for anything more - the lens is ergonomic, easy to use and very sharp all over the APS-C frame at any given aperture. The Asahi Super-Multi-Coated Macro-Takumar 1:4/100 is an excellent macro lens. Sharpness: 10 Aberrations: 10 Bokeh: 8 Handling: 10 Value: 10 If you find one get it, because they are relatively rare.īuild quality, sharp, no aberrations on APS-C The only other takumars I can think of that have this kind of focus ring are the last versions of the 50mm 1.4 and 55mm1.8, which are much much smaller. This lens is unique in the takumar family for its round and rubberized focus ring (most takumars have a steel focus ring with ridges). The build quality of this lens is of course superb, as can be expected from a Takumar series lens. It gives a tremendous sense of control, that makes you feel like a photographer performing a craft. The long focus throw of this lens is a pure joy to handle. I can happily walk around for a whole day with only this lens and feel very satisfied with the possibilities at my finger tips. At the same time, it is a 100mm lens that works great for portraits, and even landscape and street photography. This lens has the name Macro, and it indeed can take fantastic macro shots full of fine detail and great colors and contrast, even handheld. Very sharp, great colors, great bokeh, and very versatile! This is one of my favorite Takumar series lenses. ![]() Sharpness: 10 Aberrations: 10 Bokeh: 10 Handling: 10 Value: 10 Camera Used: Sony a7ii Super-Multi-Coated Macro-Takumar 100mm F4įull aperture metering with Spotmatic F, ES and ES2 It shares the optical design with the Bellows version. This Super-Multi-Coated lens has open aperture metering with the Spotmatic F, ES and ES II cameras. ![]()
