SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4
Newest high-speed 7-element standard lens for
Spotmatic II. Super-multi-coated for higher light
transmission, it has become a much brighter lens.
You get improved contrast and richer colors. No
irritating "ghost" images or flare when shooting
directly against the light. An ideal all-around lens
for color photography.
Lens element 7
Minimum aperture f/16
Minimum distance 1.5ft. (0.45cm)
Angle of view 46°
Weight 8.1 ozs. (230 gr.)
SMC Takumar 55mm f/1.8
Also super-multi-coated standard lens for
Spotmatic II, it reduces flare and boosts contrast
to a degree far beyond what was previously
possible in optical technology. You can get
pictures with more detail and richer colors than is
possible with any other system at any price. It
also features a tougher coating which means the
super-multi-coated lenses are more scratch-
resistant and durable.
Lens element 6
Minimum aperture f/16
Minimum distance 1.5 ft. (0.45cm)
Angle of view 43°
Weight 7.5 ozs. (215 gr.)
SMC Takumar 85mm f/1.8
This lens is brighter than the predecessor,
85mm f/1.9 lens, but smaller in size. With a focal
length of 85mm, perfect for portraiture, and a
maximum aperture of f/1.8, this lens is also very
suitable for indoor stage shots and outdoor night
photography.
Lens element 6
Minimum aperture f/16
Minimum distance 0.85m (2.75 ft.)
Angle of view 29°
Weight (341gr.) 11.9 ozs.
