For Sale FS: Pentax Tele-Takumar 135mm f/3.5 for Asahiflex

[Fixcinater]

Very good condition overall. Glass is unmarked and only has the normal amount of dust. Focus is smooth but is a single helicoid so the front of the lens rotates with focusing. Preset type aperture setting moves easily, with some minor paint loss on the ten thousand aperture blades themselves but nothing that impacts use.

Also included: OEM brown leather Asahi case (has a white label/sticker on it from PO with three stripes in pen on it), the original Asahi-made "Made in Japan" M37/M42 adapter ring, what I presume to be the original chrome rear cap.

$200 plus shipping, please. USPS money order and Paypal both acceptable.

Wow, is that beautiful or what!?! Industrial design at its very best. If I hadn't bought a 135 Takumar for the EOS3 just recently... Wow.

I've got the 135mm f/3.5 version for Pentax cameras. It's satin finished and not nearly as fancy. The cases look the same, though.
