The C/Y lens was not that much sharper than the Takumar. I know that from personal experience. I worked with a photographer who had one, while I had a SMC Pentax M f1.4. I got to print enlargements from both, and I didn't see a noticeable difference under similar lighting that is.

i have never had a c/y one, but if mtf curves (from photodo and zeiss) are any indication, c/y 50/1.4 wide open should be about as sharp wide open as pentax 50/1.7, which is quite a bit sharper than pentax 50/1.4 (also wide open) stopped down (beyond f/2.8) they are probably indistinguishable

Winston, You are going to love the FA24/2.0. I like it more than the 43/1.9 or 77/1.8. I purchased mine a long time ago, and fell in love with it when I got the results back. Some of the shots had an almost magical 3 dimensional quality. I quit using my 28mm f2.8 after I saw these results.

Heh? Genetically you are related to the cockroachs (basic DNA). Do you have a cockroach in your family tree? I doubt that you do. Genealogy is a very small subset of genetics, if it can actually be considered related at all. One is social science, the other is very basic biological science.
