M11 with the same Pentax Super-Takumar 50mm F1.4 8-element 1st version but now wide open.  This lens can be sharp but still has that very lovely vintage OOF rendering

I guess it is not a coincidence to see some lovely shots with the same lens as I used in a previous post 😀  It is such a nice lens and a no brainer for the cost.  But a mint 8-element is not easy to find.  Super happy with it.

No, it's not a coincidence. 😉

Your excellent pictures reminded me of this very fine lens and I went looking for pictures I hadn't already shared here before...

The 8e is indeed highly regarded in Pentax circles - so much so that there seems to be a fair number of "fakes" (mostly later 7-elements versions disguised as 8 elements) on the market. A couple of indications give the "fakes" away - the protrusion and shape of the rear element is the key one. Plenty of helpful information on the internet about this. So, yes, finding a mint AND genuine copy requires a bit of effort and a keen eye.

@Ecar, thanks to your early post regarding adapting rangefinder couple (50mm) lens, I am getting a Super-Takumar 50/1.4, 8-element copy in a few days. I am looking forward to using it with a Re-work rangefinder coupled adapter on my M9M/10M. Hopefully, I will post some images here. 

Here are two older images from another of my favorite lenses, an Emarit-R 28/2.8 V2 with a Sony A7r3.

Great shots! Shoten or Rework adapter? Didn't know about an M-coupled M42 Rework adapter...

Nice! I know this place well. 

(You guys are causing an eBay rush on those Takumars.)

@Ecar The one I am getting is from Rework-lens. I just saw that a few days ago and I ordered it. The cost is about 2/3 of that from Shoten. They also have a Nikon F mount to M mount 50mm rangefinder coupled adapter now, which I didn't see before.

Thanks. Interesting. Seems like there is a market for these SLR lens adapters after all. Please post your results/impressions on the adapter itself when you can.

Yet another Takumar lens! 😲 This one is the Pentax Super Takumar 55 mm f2.0 on an M11. It shares the outstanding build quality characteristic of all Takumars and is essentially identical to the f1.7 version, except for a ring near the diaphragm blades that reduce it to f2.0. This was a cost-effective solution to introduce a more budget-friendly lens to the market. While its out-of-focus rendering doesn't quite match that of the 8-element 50 mm f1.4, it still delivers very pleasing results. Additionally, it's sharp even wide open, which is quite remarkable for a lens that's been around for half a century.

Well below 100 € on eBay.

M10 + Super-Takumar 1:1.4/50 M42 on K&F Concept adapter
Another one in fading light.
I left in a hurry today, screwed the Super Takumar M42 onto my M10 beforehand, only to discover on the way that the aperture ring was stuck at 1.4 and could no longer be turned.
