Description from the seller

Brief description

Asahi Pentax Super-Takumar 55mm f/1.8 manual-focus standard lens with M42 screw mount.

Serial number: 4663357.

The lens is in good condition for its age and shows normal signs of careful use, including light surface wear, minor scuffs and small traces of paint loss.
The engraved markings remain clear and well preserved, with no major dents or serious damage visible.

Under normal daylight inspection, no fungus or noticeable haze is visible.
When examined with a strong LED light, slight internal haze and a few small dust particles can be seen.
These are typical of a vintage lens of this age and are not expected to affect normal photographic use.

The aperture blades have been checked and operate properly, with no visible signs of oil or stickiness.

The rear element and M42 mount appear to be in good visual condition, as shown in the photographs.

Included:

Asahi Pentax Super-Takumar 55mm f/1.8 lens
Pentax front lens cap
Rear lens cap

Only the items shown in the photographs are included.

Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description and provide the best representation of the lens’s cosmetic condition.

A fine example of a classic Super-Takumar lens, suitable for collectors, vintage-lens enthusiasts or practical use on compatible cameras with the appropriate adapter.
