SOLD

I have too many normal lenses. Starting to get rid of ones I use the least.

First, I have a Super-Takumar 55/2 in excellent condition. M42 (obviously) mount. $32 + actual shipping (visit www.canadapost.com to figure what it costs to ship to your country from postal code V6T 1T7, 500g weight; note that Small Packets are way too slow with Canada Post; it was more than once that I paid for Small Packet Air, and they sent it by sea - it's totally out of my control... so, other methods are advisable, especially to the USA).

Optics are near mint. No scratches, fungus, haze, or cleaning marks. Very little dust. Great mechanics with smooth focusing and snappy diaphragm. The A/M switch works properly (make sure the tiny release pin on the back is depressed), and aperture operates as it should in both Manual and Auto modes.

Cosmetics are good. Several handle marks showing signs of normal use (see pictures).

This one makes a perfect portrait lens on digital cameras. It provides very nice background rendering. This is one of the sharpest 50-something mm lenses, higly regarded in its days. Comes with both caps.

If you're not happy with the lens for any reason, I'll accept a return for a full refund within 7 days.
