Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 35/3.5 photography review

- Update: I bought a newer copy, the build quality is in line with the rest of the Takumars 10/10
This lens has the magic that I look for in vintage glass. I can't recommend it enough, and for the price it's hard to turn down.

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.
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.
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
Really lovely images as usual, Allan! Thanks for sharing.
Some of the best bokeh I have seen so far! The results are impressive! Thanks for sharing your pictures.
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) 😎
I agree, they are by far my favorite line of lenses. I prefer the 50/1.4 over the 35/3.5, but between the two of them I rarely touch any of my other lenses
I have the 8 element 50mm f1.4 Super-Takumar, & use it for its specialty, wide open bokeh, but besides that I prefer and use the 55mm f1.8 version. Both top notch!
Next on my list for sure.
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 🙂
Thanks for Sharing Sir Allan👍

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
35 和 50 是迄今为止我最喜欢的 takumars，但对于雪山，您可能需要更长的焦距范围（例如 80+）来捕捉更远的事物
@@allanbinder8218 Thank you，we will take 35mm and 135mm，I hope the weather is good. Snow capped mountains, lakes, forests, and grasslands can be captured in the same picture in northern Xinjiang
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.
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.
Honestly they are all basically the same as far as I know. I paid like $12 for mine 5 years ago, it's just two threaded pieces of metal with some greese there is no glass or anything.
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.
Agreed. I have quite a few 28s, including a couple of other Taks, but my f3.5 K is definitely top dog!

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

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.
Thank you for letting me know. I've changed the title, I'm not sure where the multi coated part went, but it's there now, Cheers.
