This is one of the highly collectable early 60's Takumars, the one's with the "Auto" designation easy to distinguish by their silver colored finishing.

Condition is very good. One or two paint scuffs and a small, light scratch on the rear element that will obviously not be noticeable on your photos. Focus ring is a little stiff but other than that everything seems to work as it should, positive aperture clicks, dry aperture blades, etc. With a slight CLA I bet it will be as good as new.

Original metal hood included.

A telephoto with 4 elements in 4 groups - Ernostar type - dual helicoil construction, 1959-1962. It has the typical "black & chrome" outfit of that era. Quite compact as well.. even the front lens sits deeper recessed than with later Super Takumar designs, a sun-shade is usefull. This lens is backlite-sensible to some extend. - www.taunusreiter.de
