mitch_lawyer Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hello, I am new to this forum. I have looked, but I didn't find the answer to this question among the older posts. I have just purchased a 150 f2.8 from Hunt Camera. It is marked "Super Multi Coated". Is that the same as what somepeople are referring to as simply "Super"?

anton_v. Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Not only the lenses look and constructed differently, but later models have better coating which went i believe 1-3-7 layers from Super Takumar to Super Multi Coated Takumar to SMC Pentax. I'm about to get the results from my side-by-side comparison of 2 135mm versions of 135mm macro: Super Multi Coated Takumar and SMC Pentax. From my earlier observations Super Multi Coated Takumar version of 135mm has very low contrast rendering which makes it not very useful for nature/landscapes, but very nice for skin/flesh tones. Will let you know how the comparison goes. Anton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
