I've just been looking at CarbonR's collection of Takumars, and yet again am both amazed and envious Embarassed

Here's my own 135mm selection - not sure whether it's the complete set at this focal length, but would love to find out.

Edit : Somebody shoot me now, I've just seen an Asahi-Kogaku Tele-Takumar 3.5/135 for sale - WOW!!!



Top : Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 2.5/135
Middle, L-R : Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 3.5/135, Super-Takumar 3.5/135
Bottom, L-R : Auto-Takumar 3.5/135, Takumar 3.5/135

I wish - Danilo Cecchi's 'Asahi & Pentax 35mm SLR Cameras 1952-1989' is the one I have. It's good, but there are lenses I own that are not referenced in it. As far as I'm aware, Gerjan van Oosten's book is THE guide to own.

BTW - Thanks for both of those links Smile

You don't have the 5/4 135/2.5 Super Takumar Razz I had it, less sharp than the S-M-C V2, but maybe interesting for portraiture Smile
