Takumar Macro

Inspector’s condition notes

Lens in collector condition with no easily visible scratches. The item has seen very little use. A 1:1 macro that does not require an extension tube. Star-shaped bokeh. Another rare lens worth collecting. [CON] Optics are pristine, free of scratches. Focus and aperture glide as smoothly as a new lens. Internal components are tight, with no loose movement inside. The exterior body is in like-new condition—no scratches, no scuffs, no paint loss.

How this lens renders

Compared to the 50mm lens of the same spec, the standout of this Takumar Macro is its sharpness, designed specifically for close-range flat-field work. The 4 lens elements in 3 groups deliver consistent sharpness across the entire frame. Wide open at f/4, it's already sharp enough for real-world use from the center outward. Stop down to f/5.6–f/8 and sharpness peaks, holding full detail right to the edges—great for product shots, flowers, and copy work. At aperture f/4, background separation leans toward a clean, filmic tonality rather than busy bokeh: soft rendering with well-controlled chromatic aberration. As for flare, the Super-Multi-Coated version handles it better than the earlier model, but for shooting into strong backlight, a lens hood is recommended. A manual-focus macro lens with solid build quality—worth adding to a collection and a pleasure to actually use on a mirrorless body.
