Up for sale is a fantastic example of Asahi's classic Super Takumar 35mm f/3.5 lens.

This is the earliest "V1" Super Takumar lens of its specs, as indicated by its f/22 max aperture (later versions only go to f/16), and employs an optical design renowned for its sharpness and rendering, while maintaining an amazingly petite size.

Includes original caps, including rare slide-on front cap branded only "Pentax" rather than "Asahi Pentax" or "Honeywell Pentax," as well as original Asahi Optical Company logo matched leatherette case!

Gorgeous vintage condition with minimal handling wear, perfect mechanics, and glass free of scratches, haze, and fungus.
Leatherette case is in excellent condition with light wear. Slide on front cap has minor denting around edge.

This lens features the very versatile m42 screw mount, which can be used natively on older screw mount-SLR cameras by Pentax, Praktica, etc. and can be adapted for use on most popular Film SLR, DSLR, and mirrorless formats with a glassless adapter (see chart below for digital compatibility). If you have any questions about whether this lens is adaptable to your camera system, please contact me before purchase.
