    Overview

    The Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 85mm f/1.9 is praised for its excellent sharpness and contrast, even wide open, with smooth bokeh and good color rendition. Its main weakness is significant chromatic aberration and some flare susceptibility. Build quality is solid with smooth focusing, but the lens is relatively heavy. It suits portrait and low-light photographers who value classic rendering and can manage its optical flaws.
