Hi,
Where could I find an exhaustive complete list of Takumar lenses (especially the 50mm's), necessarily including the optical formula for each one.
I search for something in Bojidar Dimitrov style (too bad he doesn't include the M42 lenses in his lists).
I'm searching that as I am working on a research study (for a Ph.D aggregate) upon the evolution of Asahi/Pentax normal primes (optical side approach only) from the earliest Takumar to the latest Pentax FA 50/1.4.
Yes I did. They sent me from one to another a few times (in about one and a half months) and finally someone answered me to apologize as they cannot disclose this type of info.
That's a crap, as the most of the newer Pentax lenses have been released along with their optical formulas. On B.Dimitrov site you can find almost any formula since the K-mount.

Unfortunatelly I couldn't get those book (sold out for many years) and couldn't be found here in France libraries.
Well-known. Info not consistent for my research.
Thanks anyway.

is the only complete source of optical diagrams and covers lenses from 1952 to 1977. It is a lot of fun following the design path for various lenses.

Yes, I found that already. Could you help me somehow? If you do, please PM me!
Regards.
Pardon my recent lack of posts, lady and gents (Hi, Mel!), I have been busy of late and my unsorted/unprocessed photos are piling up on me.
Why thank you for remembering me Mr. Cash sir! Here's a few from an airshow I went to yesterday. Super Tak 55-1.8

Nicely done, Mel. I see you made it down to Culpepper. Wish I could have gone, but my wife had other plans for me.
