That seems like a very good price for NOS.

And it's gone already... no surprise there. I wonder if one of our fellow forum members picked it up?

Looks nice but not sure what he meant by "This one is SMC but does not have the full aperture lever on the back". Takumars don't have aperture levers, they have aperture stop-down pins.

Good catch. It could just be that or the pin may be removed or stuck inside.

There wasn't a photo of the back of the lens, but maybe they meant the aperture simulator controlled by the aperture ring that connects to the body's metering system?

I only recall hearing about Super Taks that had the simulator (when they normally didn't); I don't recall reading about SMC Taks that were missing it (when they normally would have).
