AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Well-maintained Asahi Pentax Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 55mm f/1.8 M42 lens, showing normal cosmetic signs of use consistent with its age and fully tested for proper mechanical operation.

- Weight : Approx. 0.23 kg

- Size : Approx. 5.8 × 5.8 × 4.0 cm

- Material : Metal barrel with optical glass elements

- Colour : Black and silver

- Shipping method : Japan Post EMS with tracking and insurance.


erial number: 4888553.

This lens shows normal signs of use consistent with its age and remains in overall good condition. Light surface wear, minor scuffs and small areas of paint loss are present. Some wear is visible around the front name ring, barrel edges and rear mount. The engraved markings remain clear and well preserved, and there are no major dents or significant damage.

Under normal daylight inspection, no fungus is visible. When examined under a strong LED light, a very slight haze and a few tiny dust particles can be observed. These are typical of a vintage lens of this period and are not expected to affect normal photographic use.

All mechanical functions have been checked and are operating properly. The focus ring turns smoothly with a consistent feel, the aperture ring functions correctly, and the aperture blades are clean, with no visible oil or stickiness. The Auto/Manual switch engages securely and operates as intended.

The rear element and M42 mount are shown clearly in the photographs and appear to be in good condition.
