The title should be self explanatory. These lenses are my favorite, I often have a hard time choosing between any of them, let alone giving other lenses a chance to “dethrone” them. HOWEVER, I will add two (2) newcomers and challengers to this lineup at the end of the list, look forward to them in future reviews. Cheers!

Pictured: 200mm, 135mm, 105mm, 50mm, and 35mm Super Takumar lenses

I will provide links to previous reviews on all of those lenses.
