    SMC Takumar 50mm f/1/4 on m4/3

    Hi all, I've been picking up a few m42 lenses to try out on my GH1. Recently, I purchased the SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4. At wide open it was super soft almost dreamy looking. I almost thought there was a problem with the lens until I stopped down. Is that typical of this lens? Just curious if...
