Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 120mm f/2·8 — An alternative selection for portraiture with tight cropping, affords added working distance but not so much as to flatten features. Often a matter of being the right lens for a comfortable working distance. Comparatively small and light on camera, it can be maneuvered easily for sports, group activity, children, nature and animals under wide variety of conditions in which relatively fast optics are an advantage.1


Distance engravings in yellow (metres) and blue (feet).
