4307033HiddenThis Super Takumar was originally part of a retired newspaper photographer's equipment inventory. From the early 1980's through the advent of digital photography this lens, mounted on a Honeywell Spotmatic, was used in sales and marketing photography. This lens is very sharp and has now been given a third life being adapted to a Canon EOS R mirrorless camera. This lens is now used in low light conditions for engineering imaging.Wisconsin USA

3975814HiddenIn 1970,I purchased this Takumar f/1.4 50mm Lens serial number 3975814 with a Pentax Spotmatic SP serial number 3625364. The lens is still in great shape. I now use it on my Pentax K-50. I now live in Florida,
it only takes about a week under Florida, sun to kill the yellow in any lens. COOL!!! Do not forget to wrap the lens body in Aluminum Foil...

3718255HiddenPicked this up used from the 1st owner who had not used it in over 20 years. Condition is amazing and comes with the lens cap - almost mint! Very clean and clear optics aside from the usual radioactive rear glass tint (don't keep this one in your pocket if you plan on having kids).

This one is a keeper.

EDIT:
Discovered it actually has a tiny spec of fungus in it :(
Pictures taken with it are still awesome though and sharper than my 50mm f/1.4
