Vintage lenses?

[north harness]

Are they okay for ap? I'm just looking for something to do because I'm kinda bored of imaging on a terrible 18-270mm lens.

there are plenty of vintage lenses that work really well for AP. Only one that comes to mind rn is the tair 3, soviet made, fairly cheap (I've found many on ebay for 100ish + 50€ of shipping) and good focal length at 300mm

Some people here have the Super Takumar 200mm. I have a Tair 3A and took this with it a few weeks ago

Wide open at f4.5 there’s no coma I can see at all, unlike my kit lenses. There’s fair bit of red fringing, but it reduces a lot if I stop it down.
