Pentax Takumar Lenses. Wide Angle
Dec 12, 2016 11:05:31 #
Pentax was a leading manufacturer of quality lenses back in the 50's, 60's and 70's, being a collector I often buy in lots to get a particular lens I want or replace lenses in my collection for one that is a bit better preserved. Because of this from time to time I sell off some of my lenses. With a simple inexpensive adapter I use these lenses on both my Canon 7D and my Canon 6D although I do have to check for compatibility before using on my full frame camera as some of these old lenses can come into contact with the mirror on Canon full frames. These lenses are all metal and glass, they are fully manual lenses meaning that there is no auto focus or auto aperture and metering is done while the lens is stopped down.
These lenses are an excellent choice for mirrorless and 4/3's camera systems with the appropriate converter that can be inexpensively purchased on eBay. This is a partial listing because the site will only allow a limited number of images to be posted in a new topic. I also have some 50mm f/1.4's, 55mm f/1.8's, 135 f/3.5's, and 200 f/4 lenses that will be listed in subsequent posts so if you are interested in these old lenses please check for the other posts.
The prices for these three lenses include shipping within the lower 48 states and are as follows.
28mm - pristine $50
35mm Super Multi Coated some wear on focus barrel - $60
35mm Takumar Pristine -$60

In the spirit of full disclosure, I think your post would be improved if you mentioned that these screw mount lenses are all manual focus and stop-down metering only. This would help folks less familiar with Pentax lens history more quickly determine their level of interest.
And by the way, there are still plenty of great quality lenses being made today under the Pentax brand. They didn't stop in the 70's.

Yes, I know that Pentax still makes great equipment, as far as adding information to the listing you are right, I guess that I should assume that not everyone is familiar with older cameras and lenses, I will try and edit my postings later this evening when I have more time.
