"High quality glass on a budget or not" To all those proud owners of a Canon, Nikon and other quality camera, buy a Takumar lens and an adapter for your brand and take some photos with one of these 55mm or 50mm lenses. For about $20.00 to 70 bucks you are gonna get a great lens. I think it would be tough to get anything of this quality manufactured today for under a hundred bucks, and it is fun shooting in manual mode. Give one a try! If you lose interest in it list it on ebay and it will sell.
Classic Vintage Lens The SMC 55 f2 shoots sharp and has noce "bubble bokeh" under the right conditions. Recommended for all M42 shooters!
