Asahi Optical Co. Takumar 4/300mm Model II (1962-65) in M42 mount, in good physical condition and tested and working.
Description from the seller
In this listing, an exceptional, solid, and highly regarded vintage telephoto: the Asahi Pentax Takumar 300mm f/4, produced in Japan by Asahi Optical Co. between the late 1960s and the 1970s.
The lot presents in good overall condition, with normal signs of use and preservation consistent with the object's age.
Optics: The lenses are in excellent condition, clean, transparent, and completely free of surface scratches or traces of mold and internal fungi.
Mechanical: The lot has been tested and is functioning. The large rubberized dial dedicated to manually adjusting focus moves smoothly, steadily, and without significant stiffness along the entire travel.
Aesthetics: Good overall condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The robust all-metal black-painted body shows the classic, normal signs of surface wear, with very slight and localized fading of the original paint along the profiles of the dials and on the sharp edges, physiological for a vintage optic from this period.
Tracked international shipping, fully insured and professionally ultra-protective packaging to ensure maximum safety during transport.
