    85mm · f/1.8

    Overview

    The Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 85mm f/1.8 is a sharp lens with a slight edge over the Super-Takumar 85mm f/1.9, especially in backlighting conditions. It exhibits less glow around edges and better contrast wide open. Build quality is typical of Takumar lenses, solid and well-made. It suits portrait and nature photographers who want high sharpness without the last 1% of perfection, though some may prefer other Takumar variants for skin tones (Attila).
