SMC TAKUMAR 1: 1.4 / 50 ASAHI OPT. CO., JAPAN well assembled, has metal case. The focus ring has a rubberized insert, but the rubber feels like plastic to the touch (it may have become rusty from time to time). The focus ring rotates approximately 180 degrees. The ring travel is smooth and pleasant. For many Takumars, the smoothness of focusing is one of the best among all lenses of the past era. The original front cover without latches, just snug against the frame of the case, it can easily be removed with a random movement.
During focusing, the front retractable body does not rotate. Focusing occurs by moving the entire lens block.
SMC TAKUMAR 1: 1.4/50 ASAHI OPT. CO., JAPAN
Manual Takumaras with M42 x 1 / 45.5 thread can be divided into 4 types:
- Completely manual (in terms of installation exposure) Only one aperture control ring. Everything is done manually.
- Pre-set. Also manual (in terms of installation exposure), but with two aperture rings: settings and presets. Everything is done manually.
- Semi-automatic. Aperture ring + protrusion (pin) for the diaphragm pusher + can be an M / A diaphragm operation mode switch (Man./Auto). In automatic mode, focus is achieved with the aperture fully open. During shutter release, the aperture closes to the desired value and opens again. Exposure set manually.
- Fully automatic. Aperture ring + aperture mode switch + protrusion for the diaphragm pusher + additional protrusion (pin) + additional leash for transferring the aperture value to the camera. Measurement exposure and focusing is carried out with the aperture fully open, the camera understands the value of the set aperture and sets the exposure corresponding to it. During shutter release, the aperture closes to the desired value and opens again.
On the bayonet side of fully automatic lenses such as the SMC TAKUMAR 1: 1.4 / 50 ASAHI OPT. CO., JAPAN from this review, there is an additional very small pinwhich is associated with the MAN./AUTO (looks like this, at number 2) This pin should not be confused with a conventional pin to automatically set the desired aperture value during shutter release. The MAN./AUTO switch only works when this pin is pressed, for example, when the lens is mounted on the camera, or when the rear protective cover that holds it in place is installed. There is no need to try to change the position of the MAN./AUTO switch by force, otherwise it may cause a malfunction.
SMC TAKUMAR 1: 1.4/50 ASAHI OPT. CO., JAPAN
In the review, I had several of these lenses with varying degrees of integrity and security. One of them was slightly redone for better compatibility with Canon cameras, namely, the protruding lever of the aperture leash was cut off.

I measured radiation yesterday on my SMC Takumar 1.4 50mm
SN 7654183
Results below:
Radiation - gamma
With the protective cap on the rear lens removed, 6,5 µSv / h.
At a distance of about 30-35 cm within normal limits.
On the front lens 2,4 μSv / h
Side 3,4 μSv / h
With a closed back cover 2,1 μSv / h
On the carcass from the viewfinder, 0,76 μSv / h
NORM: 0,20 μSv / h
These are the pies.
According to the measurement results, it phonite is approximately 3 times smaller than SUPER-TAKUMAR, but still phonite.

For connoisseurs of this lens, there is a copy of the first version, the price is negotiable, anyone interested write Foravar108@yandex.ru
A is interesting for storing, acquiring radioactive materials, etc. will not be prosecuted?
If you jump in front of the cops and take information about its radioactivity, they will attract you. And so - this is garbage. It fonites only when the dosimeter approaches it close to the lens.
They are not all radioactive, 1st, and 4th normal

Such amount of nonsense about phonitis - I have never seen phonitis anywhere.
No one, this is the nonsense of the writer, was puzzled by the question: in the years in which these lenses were made, in Japan, everyone, including dolphins for food and the sacred tree - Sakura, were obsessed with the level of radiation, which was given a dose of meter even to maggots who chewed rotten meat, why- then ANYONE was occupied by this luminous, even if you close your eyes, the lens (- according to those who wrote) ???
Ignorance, usually backed up by a hefty dose of dementia, is powerful. I have never met anything stronger ...
Yes, I flew (without any claims from outside searches) several. dozens of times.
In general, there are:
1) Super-Takumar 50 mm f / 1.4 of the first version, the risk to the right of “4” (8 elements in 7 groups) - does not yellow and is not radioactive.
2) Super-Takumar 50 mm f / 1.4 of the second version, the risk to the left of “4” (7 elements in 6 groups) - yellow and radioactive.
3) Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50mm f / 1.4 (7 elements in 6 groups) - yellow and radioactive.
4) SMC Takumar 50 mm f / 1.4 of the first version (7 elements in 6 groups) - yellow and radioactive.
5) SMC Takumar 50 mm f / 1.4 second version with rubber focusing ring (7 elements in 6 groups) - does not yellow and is not radioactive.
Although there is an assumption that the 3rd and 4th are one modification.

transported the lens by plane to Canada and back, no problems whatsoever. in hand luggage. moreover, a transfer in Amsterdam
Guys please tell me! Will it be possible to land this lens on a sony alpha with crop 1.5 through an adapter without a chip? What would work in manual mode and focus without problems ??
Fans of nonsense "phonit-no phonite": please demonstrate at least one matrix, and it is better - the film that this lens has ruined.
It’s not a matter of the matrix, but of the customs. They are simply seized.
Is not a fact. Wrap in foil and nothing will flash.
Comrade recently received from abroad such, came without a problem.
Who will be "harassed", theorist ??????
Have you ever flown on an airplane, child of the Internet ???
Good afternoon!
Question to the respected Arkady and experts: is it worth it to pay 2 times for Takumar 50 / 1,4 compared to PENTACON auto 1.8 / 50 MULTI COATING? The first is offered for 1500 UAH. the second 800-850 UAH. Need a manual fast portrait for crop 2.
Thank you!
I’ll call Takumara say
At the beginning of the review, two times written
'Supter-Takumar'
typo?
The difference between early and late versions
Another example
Early version
Hello. Here on the back I did not understand what to look for
Are SMC or Super Multi Coated the same thing? And what do these inscriptions on the Takumara frames mean?
Yes, Pentax means multi-enlightenment.
I have a slightly older version, but in a state of 5 +++. It takes off simply awesome, and quite abruptly on a completely open, like Helios 44m-7. )
The background has not measured yet ... XD
Hey. I want to share the shooting experience with this lens. I have a 2nd version with 7 petals and thorium enlightenment. I use on the Canon 6d camera, with the m42 to Eos adapter. Here are some examples:

Thank you :)
Who used the Pentax? Do I need to remove the diaphragm stem. Will there be a hook and subsequent problems? Thanks.
