My father has scratched the back element a bit, unfortunately, but it does not really show in the photo's.
I am very impressed by the lens, its a beauty.

1646801HiddenI am wondering if i might have a 'transition' model of the Super-Takumar, as my lens has the red line to the left of the 4 on the depth of field scale, but it also has the M/A (for manual and auto, rather than man/auto markings. Or perhaps it's a mix of two lenses? I found it with caps and case, and it's in excellent condition. There is no white dot (for f2) on this lens. The glass is yellowed, but i have just adjusted for color in post.antique shop

1954323HiddenVery nice condition, 8-9 on cosmetics, perfect operation. Interestingly, this lens has the A/M marking on the stop down switch but is not an 8-element. The A/M marking is not a reliable indicator of type.Ebay

1954781Hiddenvery clean lens, is yellowing especially on the rear element, appears to have the A/M switch (not auto manual) and no white dot after the 1.4 marker but it does have the IR marker to the left and a serial number under the aperture switch! its definitely a 7 element but has some 8 element indicators. possibly a transitional build?

This lens was attached to a spotmatic II which is also in good condition.

1965857HiddenSome internal dust, minimal scratches to lens/coating. Does not affect images.

Body is superb, with exception of lightly etched marking on ring between focus and aperture collars reading as best as can be made out: MN02711-718871. Some yellowing from thorium decay, but can/eventually will be cleared up by UV treatment.

Lens was rated E+ by NCE.

2051160HiddenBought it off FB marketplace, came with original lens hood and pouch.
Has all signs of 7 element version but has A/M not Auto/Manual markings on the switch, no white dot between 1.4 and 2, and 37800 etched on the rear of the A/M switch. Seems to be early model of 7-element version but possibly transitional model from the 8-element build. Small signs of wear on focusing ring and tiny bit of dust inside the elements, otherwise almost perfect condition.
