For sale is a Takumar 100mm F3.5 in black/silver, made during a very short run in 1957. Extremely hard to find any information on this lens due to its scarcity, but from what Ive been able to dig up, with help from other forums, it appears to have been some sort of pre-production model given to the press for their magazines etc... There was mention of it in a 1957 pentax magazine but It never made it into full production. Not to be confused with the Takumar 100mm F3.5 M39 chrome varient.

This example is in essentially new condition. There are no sights of use and the glass is flawless. Comes with original case, though unfortunately at some point the caps were misplaced. The pictures were taken prior to that,
it is being sold WITHOUT LENS CAPS. If I find the caps, I will ship them to the buyer at my own expense.

Asking $900CAD Obo + Shipping (or local pickup just outside Vancouver, Canada). Will insist on a tracking number with shipping.
