24mm · f/3.5
The Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 24mm f/3.5 is a well-built vintage lens with smooth focus and confident aperture clicks. Optically, it delivers stunning center sharpness at f/3.5, though corners are softer. It exhibits minimal distortion for a wide lens. The lens is front-heavy on cameras like the Spotmatic. It suits photographers who appreciate rugged build and wide-angle context for film or digital, especially those using open-metering bodies due to its multi-coating.
