Hi.
Today a new entry into my collection of Asahiflex SLR arrived. It is the Asahiflex IIA, but what is unsual is the mount, it is an m42.
I don't know what is the truth around these m42 bodies. Accoring to Gerjan van Oosen Asahi Opt.Co never made an m42 variant according to factory records, but according to Danilo Cecchis book, they do exist.
Any one here in the PF with some more info to share?
In the photos that I've added are three Asahiflex IIA bodies. L to R: Asahiflex IIA with a chrome and black version of Asahi-Kogaku Takumar 58mm f2.4 m37, Asahiflex IIA with a Takumar 58mm f2.4 m42 and then Asahiflex IIA with the more well known all-chrome Asahi-Kogaku Takumar 58mm f2.4 m37. THe other pictures shows the mounts on m37 and m42.
