The Super Takumar 85mm f/1.8 Lens is Worth the Hype!
Is the Super Multi Coated Takumar 85mm f/1.8 really one of the better vintage portrait lenses at its price point? In this video, I put this legendary M42 lens from 1973 to the test in a real-world shooting environment at "A Night in Morocco"—a spectacular 1940s-50s themed event hosted at the amazing Lava Flow Inn. With dim lighting, colorful décor, live entertainment, attendees in period costumes and plenty of mid-century vibes, this was the perfect opportunity to see how this classic vintage lens performs when the light gets challenging along with fast moving band members and the belly dancer. Featuring an unforgettable live performance by The Scimitars, blending surf rock with Middle Eastern rhythms, plus mesmerizing belly dancing by Ami, you'll see exactly how this Super Multicoated Takumar 85mm renders: Beautiful vintage color Low-light performance Bokeh and subject separation Sharpness wide open Classic vintage lens character Cinematic video footage Real-world photo samples The Super Multi Coated Takumar 85mm f/1.8 has earned legendary status among vintage lens enthusiasts—but does it live up to the hype?
