For Sale Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 85mm F1.8 2nd Version M42 Screw Mount

[chambrenoire]

Hello!

I am selling a nice USED manual Pentax SMC Takumar 85mm f/1.8 (2nd version with 6 lenses in 6 groups) in M42 screw mount. The lens has some signs of use on the outside but lenses are nice with no fungus, some super-minor dust specks that don't affect pictures at all. Focusing is smooth (typical Pentax buttery smooth!) and all aperture stops OK. No oil on aperture blades, rapid opening and closing in auto-mode.

The included lens hood is for the 1st version of the Takumar 85/1.9 (a bit dented) but is identical to the original one for the 85/1.8. Also included are both original front (metal) and back cap (plastic). Hard case also included.

This is my first ad on Photrio.com but I have been buying & selling on eBay since 2000 and Swedish equivalent Tradera.com since 2003, also on RFF. PM me for references or just check my nickname, same as here.

Price: $400USD
Shipping: $30USD to anywhere in the world (including tracking and insurrance + signed delivery w/ Swedish Postnord)
Trades: No thanks
Payment: Paypal or bank transfer (EU customers) with IBAN/BIC. Swedish buyers can pay with bank transfer/Swish.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a PM!

Thanks for looking,
Chambre Noire

That’s a wonderful looking lens! I suspect you would have a lot of interest from the Pentaxians over at Pentax Forums

GLWS!

Right, thanks. A bit too lazy to register yet another account to sell but I guess I'll have to give it a go
