Overview
Well constructed lens in the classic Takumar or Rikenon style of old, pretty compact and well-balanced for a metal-bodied telephoto. In fact based on the fit and finish I’d bet it’s really a Rikenon, especially considering my Sears Auto 55mm 1.4 is identical to my Rikenon 55mm 1.4, and they’re all from about the same time period.
Basically a lovely little lens, I’m quite pleased with it!
