Item Description

Hello everyone! I am selling a very nice SMC Takumar 85mm f/1.9 portrait lens. This model is highly rated for its sharpness, color rendering, and out-of-focus bokeh.

This copy has been well used and it shows quite a bit signs of wear on the body. But it's never abused and still in good condition both mechanically and optically. Focusing is smooth. Glass is clean, free of fungus or haze. There are some tiny nicks on the front glass acquired over its lifetime and normal dust inside. They have no effect on IQ in any measurable manners.

It comes with both front and rear caps, metal shade and the original lens case.

Asking $260. The price includes USPS Priority Mail with Confirmation in US. Payment through PayPal GIFTS or regular (please add 3%). The sale is intended for US. For members outside US, please contact me first.

A sample image taken with wide-open aperture (f1.9):

I do not understand why this lens is still here! Considered by the pros as one of the best lenses ever.

One can find the Super Takumar 85/1.9 often (well. not that often), but the super multi coated Takumar 85/1.9, almost never.
