    The grip was a LOT heavier than I was expecting. It is built like a tank. Very solid but that means you are carrying around a lot of extra weight. The spring is super strong so I don’t think it needs a lock. It is almost too strong so you need strong hands to mount the phone. Other than that it works well and should last provided the shutter button holds up (too early to tell).

    I had my doubts about this lens (Takumar super-multi-coated 35mm f3.5), having only paid $35 for it. Plus it was kind of slow at f3.5.. I'm not sure if you got a dud, but I absolutely love mine. The lens is very contrasty and produces deep rich colors. The small details are absolutely amazing. What tops it off, is the lack of vertical distortion. I can point the camera at tall buldings and they come out looking straight. Out of all my Takumar lenses, this is one of my favorites even though I also own the infamous 50mm f1.4 8-element and the 85mm f1.8. For the money this lens is a bargain and can't be beat ! I also own the Super-Takumar version, but I'm not sure which is which ? I think last time I went out with it, I used the Super-Takumar version ? Maybe these lenses don't work as well on mirroless cameras ? I tested mine on my Pentax K-5 IIs DSLR ?

    Really nice review! I was wondering what audio interface you were using to record. I also purchased the mic, probably going to be delivered tomorrow. I’m planning to use it with my id24, the main reason being the talkback feature so that i can hear myself while chatting and playing games. Also I have dt 770 pros and the headphone amp on the mic doesn’t seem to be powerful enough to drive them imo.

    I bought mine used (obviously) a couple years ago and it's still an amazing camera. To me, the image quality has a creamy look to it and makes the images more appealing and keeps the colors in line. I still use it in my line-up when I know the image quality will give me the magic it still produces.

    This camera was revolutionary for me. I owned a few digital point and shoots prior, but there was no comparison to the results from this camera and something like a 50mm f/1.8. It absolutely hooked me on photography. Yes the D200 was better, but in my mind the D700 was the next big jump in quality and value. To get a sense of the value in a D100 or D200, give a D2h a try.

    I had one of these. It was the most interactive camera I had ever used, much to remember….cock shutter, pull slide, be sure to reset film counter when replacing film, etc. but one of the things was, when you did everything right, you were rewarded with some of the sharpest and beautiful big prints, or better yet, positive slides with an insane amount of detail. As I was wanting to shoot portraits more, I sold it and bought a bronica ETR, with the prism viewfinder. But every now and then, I still wish I had held on to the mamiya.

  • @cuadep

    I I think this lens is sharp but the focus is close and the focus distance is extremely far from 20m to infinity. Taking photos is ok but shooting video with this lens is not as good in design as the nikon 35-70mm lens (nearest focus 0.5m, before infinity is 5 meter)

    Back in the day, Pentax had a more expensive line of Spotmatic cameras that sold as a "Pro" version. They were a black body with white lettering instead of the black lettering on various things and were a bit squarer than the rounded normal version. If you were a "poor boy" that wanted to look cooler you would paint your Pentax black... that's why. I happen to have a "real" black Spotmatic but just as a collector's item. I do have and love the Takumar lenses since I first started shooting sills in the seventies. I have a full collection of cine-modded Takumars and use them for my video production. The look is fantastic though some clients like the cold hard look of contemporary plastic fantastic lenses and then spend ages color grading to try and get the look these lenses generate naturally. I use my Takumar 50 with an adjustable Venes adapter adjustable focus tube which lets me get within 1mm on the fly. I'm still hunting for an 85mm priced right as Takumars have been going up about 3-5% per year as people discover them and they just ain't making any more.
