    This was one of the best experiences I've ever had on eBay: The package arrived in Berlin from Japan in just four days (!), the camera was very carefully packaged, and the camera itself is in fantastic condition and looks like new. An excellent seller from whom I would order a camera again anytime!

    I love it.

    I had a Nikkor Ais 55mm f3.5 in 2014 which I sold it just to regret all these years. Since then, I have bought many DSLRs and lenses, but never found something similar until I bought this. First of all, this lens is super sharp from f4 and sharp enough wide open. The contrast and color rendition are pleasant to most eyes. Focus ring is smooth and the aperture ring is stiff enough, in case one bumps on it while shooting. Built quality is great and for the price, this is the best lens out there. To cut things short, I am making a full feature film mostly with this lens on my Sony A6300. I love it.

    Fantastics lens

    Although it was designed as the cheaper version of Takumar 50/1.4. Unfortunately it is not bad than it. I know that the 50/1.4 user always use it @F2, same as the wide open of this lens. Because of the focal length is 5mm longer, it is more fit to be used as a portrait lens on APS-C body. With open on this lens is sharp enough for portrait and the DOF is more easy to control, so I suggest this lens more than the 50/1.4.

    Dreamy when you want it and sharp when you need it

    I use my recently received PENTAX SMC Takumar 55mm f/1.8 with a Rainbow Camera focal reducer on my M4/3 camera. While images captured at f1.8 have a creamy, un-sharp, and dreamy quality, the lens is tack sharp above f2.0.

    Excellent legacy lens from Happiness Camera

    A beautiful legacy lens made by Asahi-Pentax a half-century ago, with very clean glass and very minimal signs of use on the exterior — practically good as new. Very enjoyable to use with mount adaptors on my Sony and Fujifilm cameras.

    Great lens!

    Is tack sharp and focus action is pleasingly smooth. Doesn't have the world's smoothest bokeh, but its old-school hexagonal aesthetic has its own charm.
