Lens Model: Asahi Super-Takumar 50mm 1.4

Lens Date Code if applicable: From Circa ~1967-1971

Lens Body Condition: Excellent! This is an EXCELLENT copy. You can find beat up ones all over the place but this is a premium unit. There is very very very minimal (if any real notable) finish wear on the focus ring. No scratches or bangs anywhere on the body.

Lens Glass Condition: Mint - no scratches on front or rear elements. No fungus. No notable dust. These lenses suffer from "yellowing" of the rear element over the now 30+ year life. This particular unit has very, very faint yellowing. There's a trick involving just exposing it to UV for a while that will eliminate it - I have not done this at all and the yellowing is very very faint. The glass itself is immaculate.

Sale Includes: Lens case, lens, end caps

Price: $120 + shipping paypal gift or add 3%

Payments Accepted: Paypal

Shipping Available To: Continental US (willing to ship elsewhere at additional cost)

Item location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Best Contact Method: PM

Other: This requires an EF to M42 adapter. I have one that I was planning on keeping. They are only $6 on Amazon. This lens is awesome - its "legendary" from its time and rivals many modern 50mm 1.4's. Aperture ring and focus ring work great no oil no sticky blades, nothing - perfect copy.
