More photos to follow shortly...



I had sirius LBA Confused ; now I have another goal Very Happy , and too many lenses. Rolling Eyes

I am not interested in making a lot of money here. Already I have gained education, experience, and pleasure more than equal to what they cost me initially, so I pass these along fairly to folks who will appreciate them but have been put off by fast drying insane market.

Just offer a fair price you can afford now. This is supposed to be fun.
Please, no dealers.

Asahi Opt. Co., Super-Takumar 1:1.4/50

(Apologies for the really bad photo; I'll re-do soon). All of them are in pretty good condition, with little body wear (those are bright reflections in photo), smooth focus, snappy aperture with clean dry blades. All have generic rear and original front caps. All have yellowed lens element, which I'm told will clear after some time in UV light; otherwise glass is fine:
