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.

I’ve traded to get the lens Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9. I knew I would like it since it’s earlier version Auto-Takumar 85mm/1.8 was in my posession until this spring and I loved it’s bokeh and sharpness.

This lens is similar in performence but on the outside it looks very different – slimmer, the aperture setting has been moved to the back like the other Super-Takumars. I’ve haven’t really had time to test it but want to share some initial photos with you, so please check out my Flickr-set “Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9″.
