I've had this lens for a long time, used it alot on my 7D previously. But was very difficult to manual focus, obviously the X-T1 changes all of that. Last week I was about to purchase another one. After doing some research online I discovered the one I already had was the better model. An actor friend of mine later that day asked if I could do some head shots for him. I gladly accepted and turned to the Takumar as it would have given me around 75mm on the X-T1's cropped sensor. The results blew my mind, all natural light and sharp as a tack, the color on this lens is amazing. I remember purchasing it many years ago for around $30. Here are some of the shots from the shoot.
Today I ordered the Mitakon Lens Turbo which when it arrives will convert this lens to an actual 50mm and give me an extra stop of light making it an f/1.2
