    This may be the worst “Best M42 lenses” video on YT. The narrator is uninformed and simply wrong in several spots in this video.

    3:22 It's "Industar" not 'dustar'. For good reviews of ex-Soviet lenses with photos, go to Zenography channel on TH-cam.

      Better yet (and I do like Zenography) go to Simon Utak’s series of the best m42 lenses. He’s got the most comprehensive and well presented videos on m42 lenses.

    Hello.
    You look confused...I wonder why you spend so much time for nothing.
    1. Helios is a brand and the model you are showing is evidently a Helios-44M-4. Variations of the same lens also on 8th place (Helios-44-2) and 9th place (Helios-44M-6). All 58mm f/2 Biogon copies with very subtle difference in rendering, if none at all.
    2. Apparently you are talking about the 50mm f/1.1 for Leica M cameras (nothing to do with M42 screw mount)
    3. Funny enough, but as far as I know Industard 61 L/D was made only for M39 screw mount (again not M42). You want Industar 61M (for M42). This is a Tessar design (4 lenses / 3 groups): I wonder why it's smaller than a Biogon/Helios-44 (6 lenses in 4 groups)...
    4. "there are about 7 blades" means sometimes six and sometimes eight? "Duststar" seems an appropriate name: ask the owners of the photos to buy a rocket blower and clean their lenses...
    10. eight blades usually produce octagons...

    • @evdl3101

      Number 1, 8 and 9 are actually the same lens, just some slight variations. Although this is probably the most mass produced lens ever, the optics are virtually the same. And yes, Industar 61 L/D exists in M42.

    I would NOT put much faith in this list. That Takumar 55mm is the WORST of the Takumar line,. I THINK what he meant was the 50mm f1.4 which is the best of that line. The 55 is trash, and everyone that knows anything in the camera hobby knows this.

    • @raymeedc
      @raymeedc ปีที่แล้ว

      You don’t know what you’re talking about. The 55 is highly regarded by anyone who knows anything about Takumars. Check out the reviews on line, especially Simon’s highly respected views, who has a TH-cam video on the 55mm Tak line in particular. Trash? What A Dope. & yes, this guy posting this video is mostly off the wall otherwise.

    • @raymeedc
      @raymeedc ปีที่แล้ว

      P.S.- I also have the iconic 8 element Super-Takumar 50mm, a Zeiss Pancolar 50, a Tomioka 50, Helios 44-2. The 55 respectively holds it’s own amongst these highly regarded peers.

    • @raymeedc
      @raymeedc ปีที่แล้ว

      Oops, almost forgot my Zeiss Biotar. Also, I have the full line of 55mm Taks, from the 10 bladed Auto-Tak Zebra to the Super-Multi-Coated version. Super & Super-Multi-Coated Taks are worth the price of admission for their unmatched focusing action alone.

      It is radioactive, not all versions apparently. As well as the one you mentioned that I assume is the 50mm f1.4.

    Excellent selection of lenses. I have owned the majority of these lenses at one point and the ones I haven’t, are ones I have been wanting to get my hands on.

    M42 is my favorite lens mount. There are tons of them, there are plenty of excellent bodies to choose from and it is a simple mount that can be easily adapted to damn near any camera.
