DESCRIPTION - Highly popular 55 f/1.8 is general purpose lens identical in function to that of 50mm fll.4 except for slightly less light-gathering power (no great disadvantage under most outdoor lighting conditions) and marginally longer focal length for slightly tighter image composition on focusing screen. (55mm f/2 is similar optically and functionally but is supplied as original equipment only with SP500 and SPI000 camera bodies.)

Features. The 55mm f/2 is the same optical formula as the 1.8 lens.  The manufacturer put a f/2 water house stop in there to offer a cheaper lens.  A true standard lens must above all give fine all-round performance and the Super-Takumar 55mm f2.0 has been perfected over the years with this object in mind Accordingly the lens design is supremely practical ~ distortion is eliminated, the same even performance is obtained at long or short range, image resolution is high and results with color photography are superb. This is truly an all purpose quality optic at home in all fields of general photography.

The same lens as the 55mm F1.8 but with a maximum aperture of F2 - ample for all but the most unfavorable lighting conditions in this day of high -sensitivity films.  This economical lens gives a bright, life-sized image in the viewfinder, and the special type of glass guarantees superb color reproduction .

Main uses. A standard lens is the first step toward an interchangeable lens system. As an introduction to the Super-Takumar range, the 55mm F1.8 can be readily recommended.  This lens is suited to all general photography, from outdoor scenics to indoor portrait shots.
