Wise decision. Won't upset the bank balance either. Both those

Eeuw, why would you want non-coated glass.
Flare, internal reflections, veiling flare.

It would save some people the effort of adding those things in Photoshop.

When all is said and done, I've decided to forego the 70-200 and
stick with my Vivitar Series 1 70-210, and to give my FA

I believe the Takumar F and the Pentax, (not SMC), F in 70-200 are the

What are people's thoughts on this lens? Someone local is selling
one. I've scanned the web and have found little or nothing in the way
of reviews or opinions. The F version seems to be highly regarded,
but it has ED element(s) while it doesn't look like the FA does.
Thanks in advance

I have the adaptall 28mm 2.5. The lens isn't well corrected with
digital and throws aberrations along the sides of the frame that erode
sharpness. I have a feeling that the 24 might have the same issues. I

I'm looking @ one in a store nearby.
It's a later unit from Tamron with a deeper blue coating, I would guestimate
that from around the time when they bought up Bronica.
And though it is MF, it has a window on the distance scale like AF lenses
have.
Anyone here used such with a DSLR?
