Pentax Super Takumar 55mm F1.8:

Now, what can one say about these legandary lenses? During the 60's and 70's, All Pentax cameras ran off the M42 mount lens system, and it was during this period that the legandary Asahi Pentax Takumar lenses were manufactured. Up to this day, they are sought after for their great qualities, and there is a vibrant market out there for these gems. We found this to be a super fast exellent quality lens, which can stand it's ground against the icons, like the Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolars. 

This remains one of our favourite lenses, being tack sharp wide open, with excellent colour rendition. We have yet to encounter Chroma in any picture.

Supplied with some Pentax Spotmatic cameras, they are becoming scarce now with resultant higher prices.
