SMC Takumar - Zoom 135 - 600 f6.7 Lens



Hi,

I have just acquired an SMC Takumar - Zoom, 135 - 600mm f6.7 Lens, S/N 6375960.
My query is what is the thumb screw for on the removable part of the claw that is first attached to the camera before the remainder of the lens is fitted?
A friend has a lens the same and it has the same thumb screw for which we cannot find any function.

Regards.

Just a guess: does it lock/unlock the collar so the lens and camera can rotate between portrait and landscape orientation?

It's to remove the camera mount, or adjust the rotation of the body for vertical shots. It also is where you mount the filter.

Here is the K mount manual for the same lens:
