I’m selling my Asahi Preset Takumar 135mm/3.5, model from 1957 with alu-parts.
It is very pretty and nice to photograph with, but I’m almost afraid to take it in case I would damage it, because it is in very good condition – as you can tell from the images. I guess you can see it is not new, but it is not far from it. Since I need the money I’ve decided to only keep the lenses I really use to photograph with.
Lens cap (at least the front is original) and hard case is included.
Price: $85 or £55 or €65 or 600 SEK.
Add shipping from Sweden (example about $20 to US, probably cheaper to EU) to the price.

My lens Asahi Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9 m42 is for sale (I have one S-M-C Takumar 85mm/1.8 which I will keep). It is in good, but used, condition. The color of some often touched places is a bit worn, as you can see on the images. It also has a little scratch on the “L” in the “Lens made in Japan”-text, and on the “T” in “Super-Takumar”.

The price for the lens: $350, or £200, or €240. Add shipping-cost from Sweden.

Today I went on a trip to on of the nearest lakes. The inspiration was not high I have to admit, but some ice stuck on stones at the lakes beach got me interested. Here are a few shot, I got more coming in a few days. The lens was Helios 44-3, the old russian ;)
