Hi,

I just bought a Super Takumar 35mm/3.5. Its serial number is 1321282. Can anyone tell me which year it is from. I am just curious.

Thanks!!

Nobody will can, we can only draw some suppositions according to the design, the serial number compared to other lenses, but they are not exactly continuous Confused

Some of its other details are: f3.5-f16. So I guess it is either first model (1964) or second model (1966). Close enough I guess. Wink

Check camera side of Auto-Man diaphram switch. First version has etched 357, second version has 43571 (Pentax) or 742 (Honeywell).

Oh! First version has 22 max aperture setting, second version has 16. Looks like you have second version! Smile

If it helps, mine is second version too, stamped 43571 and has min. aperture f16. The serial number is 2102860.

The two version can be recognized by their back : the second has the common Takumar groove to reduce reflections, the first has a smooth back Wink
