Nice

thorium radioactivity coating gives that unique look.

thanks for the review. what length should i get for the helicoid adaptor? i'm not very familiar with this. if the takumar is 28mm, does that mean i need to get one that 28mm is in between of, eg a 25-55mm helicoid?

I love the chapter headings 😅. Great images, I'm about to scoop one of these up along with a Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm prime for the delicious soap bubbles. I have my Sigma Art series lenses when I want technical perfection. I have these plus my Vivitar Series 1 135mm f/2.8 - another soapy AF lens - along with my Lensbaby optics when I want to have fun. The VS1 zooms in general are a lot of fun, by the way. You said you're poor, so if you're looking for fast aperture zoom lenses, that's the way to go for lenses under $50 AND they're also sharp AF when you want them to be, and smooth as butter in the backgrounds even stopped all the way down to f/11 if you zoom in.

Hi Allan，想请教一下，到雪山和沙漠旅行，只带两个镜头的话，一个选Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 35/3.5，另外一个镜头选什么焦段比较好，手头有28mm、35mm、50mm、135mm、200mm的Takumar镜头，第一次用菲林相机，摄影新手，相机打算用SuperA，都是父亲留下来的

What helicoid adapter did you go with. I have this lens with a fotasay m42-fx adapter on my xt5 but I want to try the helicoid adapter just dont know what to get.

I love this lens buuuut I use Nikon 🙄 so like any other m42 mount lens it does not focuses to infinite. So I'm missing something.

I bought this lens about 10 years ago at a flea market and never actually used it. It's in mint condition in a leather puch. Now that I'm getting back into photography, I'm very happy to have discovered this video. What camera did you use it with btw? I'm going to buy a Sony a6400, do you think they pair well? Thanks a lot for this amazing video!

One of my all time favorite lenses. So much so that I have every m42 version from the first minuscule f4 ( the very first wide angle SLR lens out of Japan) gem to and including the first bayonet version. Love them all, but the one you have is my favorite. I use them for different focal length needs on Full Frame, APS-C & Micro 4/3 (P.S. - I collect M42 Takumars, for good reason) 😎

Good Video

great video

Great video! I just picked up this lens myself. Can't wait to try it out

Thanks for the review. Been looking at this lens. Almost bought it a couple weeks ago. Do you know Justin Mott? He lives in Hanoi. American Photographer and UA-camr.

That lens caught me off guard. I got my first one long ago and had been brainwashed about screwmount and small apertures being old and technically inferior. Then I bought a Spotmatic to “play”. The camera had excellent ergonomics and let me concentrate on what I wanted from an image I was framing. The negatives it was producing were astonishing and I could buy M42 lenses for £20 to £25, all day long. People were ignoring them. It was a game changer. These orphaned cameras and lenses were top drawer hardware. The 35mm f3.5 is such a soulful optic. Your shots are testament to why greatness is baked into such zen designs. They come into their own when you put them with modern digital capture and post-processing.

Very interesting documentation in an other side of Việt Nam (behind the Mainstream). Very beautuful pictures. 👍

My Takumar m42 lenses 35mm3.5, 50mm1.4 and 135mm 3.5 love these old lenses my son asks me why I use old manuel focus lenses I use them because there great lenses Besides it slows down my photography which is not a bad thing as it makes me stop and think before I take the picture

You know, a lot of the early k lenses have shorter minimum focus distance, and the early k 28 3.5 is a gem. Different optics than The takumar. I have four of them.

Thanks for a review with pros and cons. I have a 28mm f2.8 and have been debating if there would be much to gain. So many reviewers talk about lenses like they found the Holy Grail.

Good vid man. Thank you

@Be blessed today and beyond in Jesus Christ!!!

Hello! Is this diafragma 16 or 22? Many thanks) Good photo*

Great review - love it the lens size/framing of the Architecture. Colours are fabulous.

Great video! Recently bought my first camera A5000 + 7artisans 55m f/1.4. Now im looking for 35mm to get 50 ish equivalent. SMC Takumar seems to be no brainer on such tight budget. Looking forward to see some more lens review on your channel 🙂

Next on my list for sure.

You got some great shots, thanks for sharing. Pretty unique POV to get to see

Nice video. I'm in Vietnam and I'm also looking for the above lens

Congrats on the wife being pregnant

I think you put a lot of settings on here as all my comments got deleted if I added quotations or giving links....... Anything with east and west styles mixed together we call it Indochina architecture or kien truc Dong Duong . You can see thousands of these French-oriental churches in Nam Dinh, Thai Binh, Phat Diem provinces

Check out this video on youtube ....The Exhibition Hall Hanoi Indochina .....this building was on the site of the current Viet-Xo Palace in Hanoi .....it was modeled after Petit Palais in Paris...Hanoi lost a lot of colonial buildings during the 2 wars and new economic reform era

The second building with hammer and sickle is a new building. They destroyed the central part of an old French College name Albert Sarraut Lycee , and inserted that white building in. You can search for photos of this college both on land and aerial view during the French time ..

Which city in your shop

Some of the best bokeh I have seen so far! The results are impressive! Thanks for sharing your pictures.

I don’t understand which lens this video is about. At the very beginning you say it’s your review on your S-M-C Takumar which would mean super-multi-coated. But the video title is Super Takumar, a different lens version which isn’t multi coated. I have the Super Multi Coated version and I like it, very small. I’ve heard over and over that the F2, Auto Takumar is the best of the best 35mm Takumar.

the comment you made about "dramatic lines an artistic architecture" is unfortunately, not true at all. I don't know who tell you that but those "artistic" extensions you see are simply... extensions made from cheap materials that happen to look colorful. I have a relative who used to live in one of these apartments, they are ussually blue collar workers who could not afford a better place, hence the extension.

I really enjoy the photos you took

Damn, those flowers are stunning.

hello . well come to VietNam

great work! from Ho Chi Minh city

Great work on this video and photography

Thanks for Sharing Sir Allan👍

My fav lens for video.

Very interesting to see! Thnx for sharing

I basically used my Super Multi Coated Takumar almost exclusively on my Pentax K-10, K-20, and K-5. I have been trying to give it more time on my K-1 lately, but I can never decide if I want to take it or my 8 element. I have a lot of Takumars that are really special for different purposes. I've got all of my photos sorted by lens on flickr. I do tend to underexpose most of my Takumar shooting. I really hate blown highlights.

Thanks for posting in the fb group. Great video

Finally someone who‘s reviewing my favourite lens! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on it!

0:27 big history wrong there , last time china occupy Vietnam was during Ming dynasty and it lasted for 20 years only , when french invade Vietnam the Qing come to fight the french cause treaty not because they invade us or occupy us 😅

I have this lens and it's really good. Like your insightful comments on this lens!

If you are going to sell it please let me know... Thanks!!!!
