Asahi Super Takumar 50mm f1.4, 8- element

Classic lens acquired on a junk Pentax for $10.00. This find is hard to beat. This lens competes on equal footing with the very finest 50mm for the 35mm film format ever made, and may be the best in certain respects. Asahi reportedly went after the famous Karl Zeiss 50mm f1.4 and created a masterpiece -- albeit slightly radioactive :)
-- taken with my Blackberry Curve on 3x zoom with flash. I suspect my little Nikon FG-20 will soon step up in the world of photography when I get my Nikon M42 adapter and this Super Takumar 1.4 mounted :)
