Wow, that's a sexy lens Attila!

According to the Old Pentax site, it belongs to the first range of Takumar M42 lenses for the Asahi "Pentax" camera, before the name Pentax was used for the company, dating from between 1957 and 1962. This must be a really rare find in such great condition. Well done Smile[/u]

This is preset 135mm lens. One of the sharpest and best 135mm lens. I have this lens. This will never disappoint you.
Although in this preset 135mm f3.5 M42 mount, Pentax manufactured "very" all black lens.. which is sharpest than this lens... but very difficult to find..

Very Happy




Haven't had time to do extensive tests with it (perhaps once I've lined up about half a dozen cheap 135s Laughing), but so far I like what I see:
