Hi, Dave, I ~love~ my 2.0 55mm! It ain't sexy and fast, but I find it to be very sharp at all apertures. I also have a Super Tak 1.4 50mm, which unfortunately has the yellow curse - not too bad, but too much warmth for colour film - that I only use for bw. It's a great lens, too, but I always

Generally, the best lenses are the Super Multi-Coated Takumars. From among these, there are many superb lenses. A few of my favorites include the 85/1.8, the 135/2.5 with six elements, the 105/2.8, the 50/1.4, the 35/2.0, the 300/4, and the 28/3.5. But almost all of the lenses in this series are

We're not supposed to report ebay listings here (it drives the price up). But since you've asked, I guess I have to tell you that it's an 85/1.8. Might be gone by now. Paul Steve Pearson wrote: Paul: Thanks for the info. I'm not sure I understand which lens was available on Ebay with a
