Item for Sale
Super-Takumar 35mm 3.5

Asking Price
55.00 USD

Item Location
Saskatoon (Canada)

Item Description
Optics are clear, no scratches or fungus. There's a bit of dust inside, but nothing excessive, about what you'd expect. The lens body shows a fair bit of wear (see pictures), but everything works as it should. Aperture clicks nicely into place and the focus rotates smoothly. If you're a collector, pass this one by, but if you're looking to go out and take pictures, this is a good choice.

Will trade for a Manfrotto 234RC Swivel Tilt Monopod Head

Just want to say. These are fantastic.

you there.. You there reading this. yes they are that good!

And as I recently found out, the difference in coating between the Super Tak and Super Multi Tak is honestly negligible. This thing doesn't have 400 elements floating around, simple design. Is good.

zosxavius · 06-17-2014, 06:26 AM

Isn't this the same optical design as the K28 3.5? I know the M28/3.5 (which I own) is slightly different, but almost as good. I need to calculate shipping before I contemplate this one.

It's still available, but shipping is a bit pricey. In order to satisfy PayPal criteria for buyer/seller protection, the package needs to be tracked. The cheapest method available for that costs the same as the lens. PM me if you wish to discuss an untracked approach.

*checks US postal website*

OUCH!

Yes for that coin I withdraw my offer

I would have bought it after July 10. This is a good tool for a good rest.

No. It has the same optical design as the SMC Takumar 35/3.5 and the K35/3.5.
