I picked up a 35mm f3.5 Super Taumar. I am using it for the first time now. It is a really compact lens. I also have a 55mm f1.8, but gave that to my daughter along with a Spotmatic body.

35/3.5 is great, wide open has a very nice 3D rendering.

Nikon Z6 and Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 20/f4.5

The 20/f4.5 is probably the weakest performing Takumar I've used, but still fun to play around with 🙂

Looks pretty good to me!

Looks pretty good to me!

Don’t confuse Pretty Photo with Good Lens (or look too closely) 😉

Seriously though, pretty bad distortion, soft at best and very soft towards the edges, a lot of fall off...

A few more taken with Takumar lenses

The 85mm f1.8 auto Takumar.
I think the rendering of this lens is very special.
