Machinery Spotmatic SP F with Super-Takumar 135mm f/2.5

Spotmatic SP F with Super-Takumar 135mm f/2.5 · 06:10 AM

Just picked this guy up for a really great deal on Kijiji!
It's in used condition, but it's well cared for and functional!

I actually went to the sellers to look at a different set up, but then they brought the 135mm in and I had never seen the f/2.5 'in the wild' before - so I had to get it!

I now know that it's the 5-element version rather than the preferred 6-element, but it's a beauty of a lens - true well made Machinery!

Thanks for looking!

That looks great! I have a Spotmatic F myself - and a couple of 135mm - only they are 3.5's
But then again, I have only tried the SP F with my 50mm 1.4
I think it's a great camera.

No question that this gear was/is of excellent quality build. I used it primarily for shooting slides and was never disappointed by its performance. The only hitch I had with the unit was the film re- wind release button was stuck in the in position and was an easy fix at the shop. I still have those slides and will someday get them posted here. Good presentation and thanks for uploading.
