There was an announcement today about the restarted production of singlecoated, manual Takumar-lenses with M42 mount. Great news for us Takumarfans!

“We realized the small cult rising around the Takumar-series“, spokesman Snel Focman says. “And we felt the need to get some of the action instead of people just buying old, used copies.”

Takumars are hear again

In modern time you need accurate information about the lenses capability, so the focal-lengths will be 34.49mm, 51.3mm, 84.43mm, 102.8mm.

Today I got this mice package from c-hylse with a Yashica ML 50mm/1.4 in prefect condition :) I went outside and tried a few shots. It felt good but I’m not used to the f1.4 yet so many of the shots were to short depth.

Image of the lens itself will come shortly :)
