I'd love to see some samples from this lens if you ever have the time! Very intriguing. What do you think the heliar design lends to the lens (try saying that five time fast ); any advantages/disadvantages to the typical double gauss design? It would be a great discussion for this forum I'd think, given the rarity of the lens. Maybe even a comparison for some other 58's we have floating around? Just an thought...Thanks so much in advance!

Marc, I've posted a few samples from this lens back in August, 2008. After that, I've not used it at all 
But here are the samples: http://forum.mflenses.com/asahi-opt-co-58mm-f-2-4-takumar-t9753.html
I think the Heliar design delivers a much nicer bokeh than the double Gauss design, but I should test this a little more. Fortunately, spring is around the corner!

What a great collection. And good for you, for getting the lenses out in the sunshine! That is a big boost for keeping things in good condition, ESPECIALLY for knocking out the chances of fungus.
My collection  :
1. Super Takumar 55/1.8 (so sharp, it cuts, it is a permanent keeper lens for me)
2. SMC Takumar 100/4 Macro (on its way from New Zealand, and I hear it's a very good lens)

Congratulations Laurence. This is also one of the Pentax lenses that are of the Heliar design... I'm sure you'll like the bokeh too.

It depends... The lenses are usually not sold separately although I have a spare 50mm f/3.5 Asahi-Kogaku Takumar.
I see that you are living in France. I have heard that France really is Pentax minded, but can you find Takumar lenses easily there?

I know a 50/3.5 Asahi Kogaku sold sparately... 250EUR 
I would not say that France is well Pentax minded, I know only three Pentax collectors (including me) and two are only interested in the Takumars, not in the K and later. Too many people think that the equipment will take beautiful shots, and buy a Canon or a Nikon, because there are cameras like D3(x) or 5D/1D, but they buy basic camera and are happy of they shots.
Pentax has a good image only for the former equipment, like Spotmatics. But the prices are not often very high. For example, I paid 120EUR with postage for my S-M-C 85/1.8, 143.70 EUR including postage for S-M-C 20/4.5 & 35/3.5 like new...
There is an other problem in France for prices (may be all other the world too, but it is very marked in France) : "noob" people read on internet that olf lenses are good, and spend lot of money in old lenses, whatever it is, without knowing if the lens is poor or not. In result, some lenses (including Takumars) sometimes are sold at very high prices (we can see poor lenses like Domiplan 50/2.8 sold at ~15-20 EUR at "pro" sellers, or these 500/8 lenses at 150-200 EUR)
I mostly have found my Takumar in France, because for low priced lenses, the shipping price abroad is too high and it's most interesting buying in France. These lenses were bought abroad :
# Fish Eye Takumar 18/11 (USA)
# S-M-C Macro Takumar 50/4 (USA)
# Auto-Takumar 55/2.2 (Nederland)
# Takumar 135/3.5 (USA)
# S-M-C Takumar 135/2.5 V2 (Nederland)
# Super-Takumar 300/4 (Germany)
I also bought a S-M-C 135/3.5 in USA but it was resold because infinity was not reached. For common lenses France is interesting, but rarer lenses are much rare in France

Thanks Spot! I'm looking forward to it, hope it's a decent lens cosmetically and mechanically. I've already seen some of the "bokeh" shots with it....and they made me say "Wow"!
