Purchased at a camera club swapmeeting. Dates back to the early days of Pentax, trading under theAsahi and Takumar names, this is a classical zoom lens – metal,made in Japan, in excellent condition. Around the rim of the lens isprinted ”Tele-Takumar1:6.3/300 1888464 Asahi Opt. Co, Lens Made inJapan”. Dual aperture dials at front, all blades turn smoothly,internally clean, comes with a labelled front cap and rear cap,large 58mm lens hood, leather case and M42 mount (3631/Woolies3)
It also has a flash grip – like atripod mount, fully adjustable, cold shoe, left handed hand grip –see my pictures – just add camera and flash

Another discussion at theforum.mflenses. One reviewer commented
Itis a lens that needs to be used, and to have fun with. As always,
thebokeh with a lens of this nature is just wonderful, in myopinion.
And,of course, GREAT in a sunny situation for people shots or wildlifeshots, or even flower shots.
I can post this lens and flash grip around Australia in an eBay satchel for $12.00, or it can be
picked up in Norman Park, Brisbane. eBay direct or cash on pick up is my preferred payment
method.
