Asahi Super-Takumar 105mm f/2.8

The Asahi Super-Takumar 105mm f/2.8 is a classic telephoto lens for the popular M42 screw mount and is widely regarded as one of the finest lenses in the legendary Takumar lineup from Asahi Pentax. Featuring a 105mm focal length and a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture, it is ideally suited for portraiture, nature photography, and close-up detail work. The renowned Super-Takumar coating helps minimise flare and reflections, while the optical design delivers outstanding sharpness, excellent contrast, and beautifully smooth background blur. Its all-metal construction and exceptionally smooth focusing mechanism reflect the outstanding craftsmanship for which Takumar lenses are famous.

This example, serial number 1169395, is an excellent choice for photographers and collectors seeking a premium vintage telephoto lens. Thanks to its universal M42 mount, it can be used on a wide variety of classic film SLR cameras and can easily be adapted to modern mirrorless camera systems.
