Review

Optically I am very impressed by this little lens, but mechanically it sucks. Everything works and is sufficient, but it just doesn’t have that workmanship finish of the Takumar lenses. A little rough usage also easily wears out the internals, which are made of low-grade and soft metal.

A nice lens to play with, but don't depend on it out in the middle of nowhere. Mmmm... or maybe it will survive?

Recommended: No

Disassembly and Service

The lens disassembles by unscrewing the rear part of the body.
