Very nice photo, Paul. I'm constantly amazed at how well the old Takumars do on modern cameras. I guess they are just "sharp as a Tak"

Thanks Albert - that Tak 20 renders especially nicely. Some may take issue with the notion of the *ist D as a "modern camera" .

My first Pentax was made in 1956. Any camera that needs a battery to operate something is (relatively) modern.

Here's a picture taken with the Super Takumar 28 3.5. on a K-50 at ISO 100. I'm not sure about the aperture. This was taken with the last bit of sunlight over the Eemskanaal looking to the northwest in the end of March this year. I like the colors in the sky in particular.

Just picked up this nice collection of M42 SMC Takumars.

• 35mm f/3.5
• 135mm f/2.5
• 200mm f/4
• Set of three extension tubes
•Takumar lens hood for the 135mm/200mm
•Rubber lens hood for the 35mm

The lens are all in their original cases, have their Asahi original end caps (front and back) and all three came with UV filters.

The lenses are absolutely mint condition - they look like they were either not used much or incredibly well looked after.

The only issue was the case for the 200mm - the interior had a lot of dusty gunk which was from the glue of the inside padding disintegrating over time.
It was not fungus and was easily removed once I have the lens and case a clean.

These are the later model SMC Takumars and the 135mm is the desired v2 lens

I've cleaned them all up and mount them to some M42 to Sony E mount adapters to go on my Sony A7 III.
I'm really looking forward to using them!
