Refurbishing a Vintage Lens - Super-Takumar 55mm F/1.8

This is gonna be a long one....

Feeling freshly inspired by coming across the concept of putting vintage lenses on modern digital cameras, I decided to buy some classic Takumar lenses to clean up and restore.

I will be refurbishing a total of three of these Takumar lenses. I will keep the following videos a lot shorter, however.

Also, sorry about forgetting to add sample photos. With the photos that I took, there wasn't much difference in picture quality anyway. The biggest improvement was regreasing the focus and aperture rings/helicoils.

Enjoy!
