Scarce Smc Takumar 400mm F5.6 Telephoto Lens By Asahi Pentax Japan M42 Screw Fit
Scarce smc takumar 400mm f5.6 telephoto lens by asahi pentax japan m42 screw fit in good condition. [more photos - see below]. Designed during the golden age of film photography for use on pentax etc film cameras with m42 mount. Sought-after today to use with an adapter [not supplied] on the latest digital slr camera bodies.
This is a long lens designed to bring distant objects closer. It will compress perspective dramatically in landscapes and is also good for wildlife and astronomy. Stunning glass enables it to yield sharp and contrasty images for such a long lens. Thanks to asahi’s super multi-coated optics = smc. Flare is avoided by using the built in telescopic lens hood.
Heavy to hand hold – so the lens is provided with a rotatable tripod collar. Comes complete with original case [tatty] and front and rear caps. This lens is well used with plenty of signs use [see photos].
Cosmetically the paintwork has a few scuff and scratches and the tripod mount shows evidence of plenty of work. Absolutely no dings or dents. Front and rear glass elements are bright and unmarked. No haze or fungus but there a few dust motes inside.
I do not think these will affect the quality of your images. This lens provides a bright viewfinder image. Focus is smooth but noisy which suggests it needs lubrication. Aperture ring rotates nicely with positive clicks for all stops [and some half stops].
All the lettering and legends are readable. 400mm f5.6 super telephoto lens.
Made between 1970 & 1975 in japan by asahi optical co. Close focus to 26 feet / 8 m. Focus requires 285â° rotation from close up to infinity. Filter ring diameter is 77 mm. Built in telescopic lens hood.
Aperture stops from f5.6 to f45 with some half stops. Lens length: 283mm 305mm [345mm with hood extended]. Lens [with caps] weighs: 1.3 kg / 2 pounds & 14 ounces. Case & strap [tatty] weighs: 420 g / 15 ounces.
