wide takumar

Another ebay antique from the 70s direct from the country where it was made. It snaps big chunks of the sky but you need the moon to be able to focus easily; not enough magnification for a Bahtinov. Infinity comes just before the hard stop on the lens, so at least there's no need to dismantle. The silky smooth focusing and built-to-last metal construction makes today's impossible-to-focus-manually plastic equivalents look like a joke.
