Asahi Pentax Fish-Eye-Takumar17mm f/4 Lens AF Confirm Canon EOS EF Mount


This Pentax fish-eye, wide-angle prime lens is in Excellent Condition. The elements are clean, without any scratches, fungus or haze. The aperture blades are clean and oil free. The aperture operates smoothly. The aperture range is f/4 to f/22. The front lens ring reads "Fish-Eye-Takumar 1:4/17 3773193 Asahi Opt., Co. Lens made in Japan". The lens has built in UV, yellow and red filters. The lens comes with a Canon rear lens cap, a Pentax front lens cap, and a Generation 3 AF Confirm M-42 to Canon EOS mount adapter. This lens is excellent for landscape and cityscape photography.


Generation 3 AF Confirm M-42 to Canon EOS mount adapter allows the lens to mount on Canon EOS mount Auto-Focus cameras. The Gen 3 chip on the adapter allows for the camera to enable camera viewfinder focus confirmation light and sound. The chip supports AV (Aperture Priority) and Manual Mode and allows exposure aperture data to be recorded in the EXIF files. A confirmation signal will activate once the objective is focused accurately. The adapter allows the lens to focus accurately from 5 feet to infinity. Closer focus can be attained with the use of a screw-mount or EOS EF extension tube.


Note: The AF Confirm option may not work on some older model, EOS EF film cameras. The AF Confirm chip does not enable manual focus lenses to auto-focus. The adapter is easily removed and can be mounted on other M42 mount lenses. Conversely, once the adapter is removed, the lens may be mounted on almost any M42 mount SLR camera body.


This M42 Pentax lens will fit all Canon EOS EF film and digital SLR cameras, including the following: 


Canon 1D, 1D Mark II, 1D Mark III, 1D Mark IV, 1Ds, 1Ds Mark II, 5D, 5D Mark II, 5D Mark III, 6D, 7D, 20D, 70D, 550D, 600D, 1100D, to name just a few.
