Super Takumar 55mm f/1.8 Early Model This is a popular and attractive old lens that can be used with Sony, Olympus, and Panasonic mirrorless cameras. ■■■Advantages of the Early Model■■■ This lens was born in 1963. The early model does not use "thorium glass," so there is no worry about the lens interior yellowing now or in the future. Also, compared to the later models, the early models are less common, making them a rare lens. ■■■55mm F1.8 Key Points■■■ You can take beautiful and soft bokeh photos that are "Instagrammable"♪ You can enjoy taking photos that take advantage of the flare and ghosting unique to old lenses. 55mm is a standard lens and easy to handle. It's a bright f/1.8 prime lens. By using an adapter, you can attach it to various camera bodies and take photos. ■■■Condition■■■ ■Appearance Due to its age, there are some scratches, dirt, and signs of use. ■Optics Although it's a layman's observation, there is almost no mold or cloudiness visible to the naked eye, and it's in a clear condition. Dust can be seen inside with a strong LED light. There may be slight clouding due to aging. I think you will enjoy taking photos. ■Aperture Blades Oil stains: None Mold: None ■Operation Aperture ring: No problem Focusing ring: No problem ■■■Mount■■■ M42 screw mount *Since there is no M42 mount option in Mercari's settings, I have selected the Sony E mount. If you are using it with a Sony E mount, you will need a dedicated adapter. ■■■Accessories■■■ ・Front cap ・Rear cap ■■■Free Shipping■■■ We are committed to careful packaging. This lens was made over 50 years ago. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection. ↓↓Also available↓↓ #kawaiishop_Aclass Single Focus Lens #Bokeh #Instagrammable #OldLens #Pentax #SuperTakumar #Takumar #EarlyModel #Supertakumar #FlareGhosting
