[Leica] IMG: Flutterbys Using the Takumar 135

[Aram Langhans]

Douglas. When I was shooting Rollei's I had that 135/4 Tessar.  It indeed 
was a great lens.  I would put it on bellows and that was my go-to Macro 
setup.

Jim.  The butterfly photos are amazing.  That Takumar seems to be a very 
nice lens.  Have you tried it on a bellows?

Blöody 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 Voigtländer/Rollei
which really sparkles.

Cheers
Douglas
