Bl?ody good lens. bloody good photos!

I like the colour rendition of Takumars - not as 
clinical as Leica and not as cool and calculating as Zeiss.

One of my favourite 135s is the Takumar 135/2.5 in M42 
mount - comes close behind a Yashica 135/2.8 with 
CY-mount and a miniscule 135/4 from Voigtl?nder/Rollei 
which really sparkles.

Cheers
Douglas
