♣︎♣︎ What kind of lens is this?? ♣︎♣︎
The Super Takumar 55mm f1.8 is a very popular lens for beginners in old lenses. The late model, which uses thorium lenses, was praised at the time for its overwhelming descriptive power, even said to reflect the air. It is known that light patterns called flares and ghosts occur when light sources are skillfully incorporated into the field of view.
Furthermore, it tends to produce more vibrant flares than the early model.
