Super Takumar 28mm f3.5 | Fujifilm X-T4 | Vintage lens I M42 mount

[@edwardhammock24]

I've got all of my dad's old super takumar glass. I love looking through the same glass that he did 60years ago. Focusing makes you stop and think about the shot. Beautiful times. 🙏

[@kenyudoit]

That's great, hopefully camera will still be a thing when we past down our lens, thank you for sharing, have a nice day 😁

Found this lens in a thrift store for $20. I already had the Super Takumar 50mm 1.4 8 Elements lens. So I knew exactly what this was when I saw it. Nice little lens great build, smooth rings. I like that its so compact and lightweight plus the look of it is timeless.

Lucky! I had to purchase one from ebay and ended up paying £92 for an excellent condition one, but it had some accessories with it (square metal lens hood, leather case for lens, leather case for the lens hood). Bit more than I would want to pay but still not too bad.

[@Mr7Poz]

I had the 105mm, and the 50 mm Macro, I just bought the 28mm, cause I love the look so much. From your pics and videos, it really delivers beautiful results.

[@kenyudoit]

Glad you like them! I am working on an video for the 55mm f1.8, stay tuned!

[@ohjajohh]

You can't go wrong with any Takumar, even if it's only f3.5 :)

[@kenyudoit]

Yes Takumar is really good 😆

[@the_black_douglas9041]

Lovely! The 24mm f/3.5 is also an unexpected gem!! It comes with a really funky square hood!

[@kenyudoit]

Thanks, I also have the 24mm f3.5, I actually have 2, one got haze... but I have never seen the square hood, let me try to search for one, thanks for the recommendation!

[@sorenjohnstone9137]

Great video. Terrific pictures. I love the Takumars. They are a gem!

[@kenyudoit]

Thank you, I also think the Takumars are gems, I have collected a few more after this video and I will be making more video with them, stay tuned!

[@sorenjohnstone9137]

@@kenyudoit Aside from the 28, I'm loving the 24, 135 & 85 (in that order). The 50 is great I just hate the yellow cast... And it's pretty soft wide open (as is the 35).

[@stevieb7121]

I really enjoyed this video. Great job!

[@kenyudoit]

Thank you very much!

I had exact lens, mint condition but I leave it and collected dust for years as I used mft system, f3.5 with 2times crop factor not interested me. After get an old fuji xt1, I looking for some one who used this lens on KZbin. Then I found you. Very helpful and encouraging me to give the lens a try. I was amazed how good it is. It is shaft and pleasing blur background in fuji, which I can’t get in mft. With Fuji the focus peaking also make it more useful. Bros, thank for the review. A subscription from Vietnam.

[@kenyudoit]

Thank you very much for your kind words! I am glad to meet people that have the same interest in vintage lens, i hope you enjoy your lens!

[@TheCruisinCrew]

I just got this lens in a cheap collection of lenses and I really like it... it's sharp (particularly in the middle), small, light, built like a tank and just a joy to use on my A7r2... set it to f/8 infinity and pretty much everything in a normal shot is in focus... super fun lens!

[@kenyudoit]

yes, this tiny lens is great, the value for money is insane, enjoy!

[@hristoimages]

Amazing colors...bravo 👏🏻

[@kenyudoit]

Happy to help 😀

[@michaelbuckley8986]

Nice presentation👍

[@bss6273]

Haha, I purposely bought this lense and never once regretted it. It's sharp 🔪 cool video 👍

[@DieCastErn]

Good content 🎉

[@craigzievis2074]

I have the 135 and 200mm Takumar. Great lenses! Gotta get one of these too!

[@kenyudoit]

I recently got my hands on a 105mm early version, i was choosing between this and the 135, got the 105 because of the look, video coming soon!

[@JJBfilm]

Nicely done...

[@kenyudoit]

thank you

[@Geert890]

I have this lens. It's my favourite old Pentax lens. It's simply gorgeous and special.

[@kenyudoit]

good to know! it is a fantastic lens 😁

[@bransky]

Helped me make a decision on getting one. Thank you.

[@alexanderaleksander4272]

It's a great review!

[@kenyudoit]

Thank you very much

I own and use the following 28mm lenses for full-frame cameras: 28mm f/2.8 Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 Pentax Takumar 28mm f/2 Zeiss Distagon 28mm f/2.8 Zeiss Biogon When I performed a comparison test, I was surprised that at the same apertures, there was little difference in image quality.

[@kenyudoit]

interesting, which is your favourite 28mm lens from this list?

[@Narsuitus]

@@kenyudoit I really do not have a favorite because each 28mm lens is used for different reasons. 28mm f/2.8 Nikkor -- used primarily in 14/28/55mm lens kit for landscape and nature photography. I also use this lens as a standard by which all other 28mm lenses are judged. 28mm f/4 Nikkor Perspective Control -- used primarily for architectural photography 28mm f/3.5 Nikkor pre-AI - used only for close-up and macro photography. Has a BR-2 adapter on the front of lens so the lens can be attached in reverse position on a bellows. Has a BR-3 adapter on the rear of the lens to allow filters or slide copy unit to be attached to the reversed lens. 28mm f/3.5 Pentax Takumar -- used in 28/50/105mm Takumar kit for shooting live stage performances. The 8-element 50mm f/1.4 M42 screw-mount lens is my personal favorite 50mm. 28mm f/2 Zeiss Distagon -- used as a normal lens on APS-C digital cameras. Since my lens is a Nikon F-mount, I can use it on my Fuji S5 Pro digital SLR without an adapter. I must use a Nikon to Fuji X adapter to mount it on my Fuji X-Pro1 and X-Pro2 mirrorless digital bodies. 28mm f/2.8 Zeiss Biogon -- used in 21/28/90mm kit on Contax G1 rangefinder when shooting vacation/travel landscapes 28mm f/2.5 Vivitar - used in an expendable/low-cost 28/50/100mm lens kit on a Nikon EM, N70, or N2000 body when I need to shoot in a hostile environment where the equipment is likely to be lost, stolen, or damaged.

[@kenyudoit]

Thank you so much for the details, now you got me interested in the Nikkor system

[@OcramSheep]

I live in Hong Kong also, well I recommend getting vintage lens with Buyee.

[@pontecristo_]

does the auto/manual focus ring move? because I have one that but this ring is locked and I wanted to know if it was a defect or is it made that way

[@kenyudoit]

mine moves when it is mounted on the adapter, I've heard you shouldn't try to move the auto/manual tab when it is not mounted because it is related to the pin at the back of the lens. But for me, who is shooting it on a digital camera the auto function has no use anyways, as long as the aperture is still controllable then you will be okay.

[@pontecristo_]

@@kenyudoit thank you very much 🥺

[@film.fiasco]

I feel terrible for your friend, to be honest, but it is undeniable that the lens is excellent too!

[@kenyudoit]

He sold it and split even, and he found the real 50mm f1.4 very soon after that

[@film.fiasco]

@@kenyudoit the golden lens this 50mm f1.4. I bought it last week and I am waiting for it, I hope I got I right tho haha!!

[@kenyudoit]

@@film.fiasco haha I believe you will get the correct one, i have the 55mm f2 and I am very happy with it, although the flare is not as nice as the 50mm f1.4, enjoy your lens!

[@film.fiasco]

@@kenyudoit Thank you!!

[@kazushinakada6543]

So, Amazon Japan did not help your friend??? That is not good. Contact them again and make an official complain. Is it so that they did not find the seller anymore?
