The Lens Hooche Verdict

   This lineup is still pretty fantastic.  Out of all the takumar lenses i shot with my Canon 1DX I loved the 28mm the most followed by the 35mm and the 105mm.  You cant go wrong with either lens to be honest.  The 28mm i got practically new so that is probably why I am a little biased there.  Which one is your favorite?  Leave a comment in the video and I will catch you on the next one.

   I also have a botanical series on the Helios 44 series.  If that is your preference, check that one out here.
