| 4339856 | Hidden | Overal condition is good. Body is very good. Lens has fungus. A dent in the filter thread. I've fixed all of them and clean the lens inside as well. Now I describe this lens as 'mint' condition! | March, 2016 | |
| 3547371 | Hidden | Good condition. | March, 2012 | |
| 2748070 | Hidden | EXCELLENT CONDITION | October, 1968 | |

| 2047459 | Hidden | Great shape | May, 2012 | |
| 1733309 | Hidden | Definitely an 8 element but high serial number. Very good condition. Came with well used but working Spotmatic SP model 231 | October, 2023 | |
| 1655064 | Hidden | Very slight yellowing but otherwise excellent condition. Acquired with original Spotmatic body back in 1966. | August, 1966 | |
| 1651658 | Hidden | This is an 8 element version with the IR index mark on the left of the 4 numeral when viewed from the rear of the lens. The rear element protrudes beyond the mount. When obtained, it was deeply yellowed (Thorium) but this was cleared by exposure to sunlight over a period of a week. Mechanically it is in perfect condition. The lens produces superb images with all of the attributes that the type is famous for. | December, 2006 | |
| 1648180 | Hidden | I am delighted to own this nearly mint 8-element version: the IR mark is on the right rather than the left of the "4" on the distance scale, and the protruding rear element glass sticks out farther than the surrounding ring just a tad. The highest serial number I have seen before acquiring this lens is 158XXXX. The glass is clear (not yellow) and is nearly void of any dust particles. The aperture blades (six of them) are very clean and snappy. A very nice find and I can't wait to get out and test the lens. I have posted some images of the lens in an Album I created.

| 1591394 | Hidden | This was the original lens I got with my Spotmatic serial number 1211890. I swapped it with my father's 7 element version some years later because I didn't like the protruding rear element. | N/A | |
| 1589660 | Hidden | Another of my great bundle purchases. Lens is smooth as silk. Looks well worn, but operates flawlessly. | October, 2010 | |
| 1588639 | Hidden | Very nice condition Not original front lens cap | May, 2018 | |

Update Dec 2010- sky filter asahi remained stuck on the lens ; lens dropped on wood-tile and filter mounted on the lens went a bit oval.filter cannot be removed w/o risk of damaging the thread of front element, thus it will remain mounted. evtg. else is still working very fine with this lens | June, 2010 | |

| 1556849 | Hidden | Has yellowed slightly, purchased off E-Bay second hand | November, 2009 | |
| 1555001 | Hidden | Lens is in EX condition with original (design) lens and rear element cap . No product code on the back of the M - A switch; however: 1. M - A on either side of switch, rather than Manual - Auto 2. IR mark to the right of 4 3. The real element glass protrudes from the surrounding metal frame, compared to being recessed as with the later 7 element lens 4. 6 aperture blades, rather than 8 5. When placing the 8 element lens next to a Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 50mm f1.4 (s/n 6123865) on a glass surface, both caps removed, the 8 element lens is shorter (not longer) than the 7 element lens as mentioned in the following Forum thread. 6. Serial number is higher that the referenced highest s/n based on the following Forum thread https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/10-pentax-slr-lens-discussion/224629-serial-number-super-takumar-50mm-f1-4-early-8-elements.html | January, 2018 | |

| 1551447 | Hidden | Bought used on eBay. IR mark to the right of the 4, protruding rear element, no yellowing; all confirmations that this is the 8-element version. Minor internal dust otherwise perfect. I also noticed that the focus ring is less damped and more buttery smooth than the other Tak 1.4s I've owned. | April, 2015 | |
| 1549846 | Hidden | Purchased used w/ Pentax Spotmatic. Focusing ring somewhat looser than my other 50 1.4s. | September, 2010 | |
| 1549086 | Hidden | Worn user condition. Elements clean. | May, 2016 | |

| 1489849 | Hidden | Cosmetics fairly good; there is some wear to the high points of the focus grip grooves. Optics and functions excellent, This serial was in a batch of 19,970 produced fairly late in the 8-element series. Diamond DoF indicator; no red R; IR mark to right of 4; blank aperture switch reverse surface; protruding rear element. | November, 2015 | |
| 1487910 | Hidden | This is the second 8-element version of this lens I now own. Bought at a garage sale as a group purchase and will wind up making money once I sell the other items. I was pinching myself with excitement when I found this lens buried under several other Pentax items. It has all the hallmark characteristics of the 8-element version and looks nearly new. All the good things that are supposed to be obvious are there. The lens elements have a few very small dust particles, but it nearly sparkels inside and out. OK, sorry if I sound like I'm gloating. I wasn't looking for another 8-element lens, but this one just fell into my lap. BTW, I notice that there are many non-8 element entries in this list. I would like to suggest that a few pics perhaps be required to authenticate 8-element SN's. Just a suggestion...;-)) I have posted some images of the lens in an Album I created.
