Description from the seller
Asahi Pentax S1a + Super-Takumar 55mm f/2 – Classic mechanical SLR – Maintenance desired
Offered: an Asahi Pentax S1a 35mm analog SLR camera, supplied with the beloved Super-Takumar 55mm f/2 standard lens. An iconic combination from the 1950s/60s, known for its robust mechanics and timeless design.
The S1a is a fully mechanical camera and represents an important chapter in the early history of Pentax. The Super-Takumar 55mm f/2 is known for its sharp rendering, beautiful contrasts, and classic image character, making it highly sought after by both analog photographers and collectors.
Technical condition:
The camera requires maintenance. No recent service has been performed, and its operation has been limitedly tested. For reliable and accurate use, a CLA (Clean, Lubricate & Adjust) is recommended. The lens has been optically inspected and appears neat, but it has also not been recently maintained.

Maintenance requested
Functionality not fully tested, the shutter does not fully slide, causing the mirror to remain hanging; with manual assistance, the mirror drops back down.
