Great Bokeh with that lens great shots.

One of the main cameras I'd check out from the Media Center when I went to
Webster College in Webster Groves MO in the mid 70's was a classic Pentax
Spotmatic with a SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 lens. I think super multi coating
had not quite come out but maybe it had.
This camera had such a superior feel to the Nikon F2 I had and the Canon FTB
I'd sometimes use it wasn't funny. Put a smile on your face.
This was before "ergonomics"
Ergo the word "feel".
