DOF scale etc with 150mm f/2.8

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Pentax 67 SLR : One Thread

Does anyone know how accurate the DOF scale is on the old 150 Takumar? This lens seems to be pre-1984 but does anyone know when the last year of production was for the 150? How sharp is it wide open and at f/11? Thanks SR

Shawn, please see my field test done in Oct 1999 and the followups that went with it for more info on the great 150mm. SR

Haven't shot it wide open but it's really sharp at f11.

Thanks Steve. I've avoided shooting this lens wide open (f4 is my widest so far); but I think after your review I'll check it out at full aperture...shawn
