Item Description
Up for sale or trade is my 85-210mm f4.5 SMC Takumar M42 mount. The lens is in pristine condition and functions flawlessly. It also comes with its original front cap, rear cap, hood, and case. It's a pretty rare collector's item.

For trade I'm looking for a fast screw-mount lens, like a f1.4 SMC 50mm. Let me know what you have!

Update: I didn't even know at first I had a closeup attachment lens that comes with the set until Pickles told me that it was hidden in the case cap! Anyways, I just added some pictures of the set (notice that the closeup lens is still in its original plastic!). You'd be hard pressed to tell this zoom lens apart from a new one, except for some scrapes on the auto/manual aperture switch.

The specks on the lens are just dust and glare.

Bump...

pickles · 05-24-2010, 06:18 PM

I've sent you a P.M. about this, but perhaps you haven't seen it.
I've just bought one of these, otherwise I'd have bought yours!
Anyway, as I said in my PM to you, mine is missing its close up attachment, which is usually stored in the lens case lid.
I was wondering if you could have a look at yours & tell me what it looks like and what Pentax / specification / model no. / identifying marks etc, are able to be seen on it. This may assist me in obtaining one or a generic item.
As I said in my P.M., sorry to be a nuisance.
Thank You, Pickles.

Geez, that is a really beautiful lens...and they are quite rare, and becoming rarer, particularly in that condition.
Surely it can find a caring new owner here....I've already got one!
Cheers, Pickles.
