Asahi Pentax ES 35mm SLR - Good Condition | Pioneer Aperture Priority SLR with M42 Mount

The Asahi Pentax ES is a landmark camera in the history of photography — one of the world's first 35mm SLR cameras to offer fully automatic aperture priority exposure control with an electronically controlled shutter. Introduced in 1971, the ES represented a genuine technological leap forward, combining Pentax's legendary build quality and optical heritage with cutting-edge automatic exposure technology that made serious photography more accessible than ever before. Built around the universal M42 screw mount, it gives access to a vast range of Pentax Takumar lenses and virtually every M42 lens ever produced — making it as versatile today as it was revolutionary in its era. A significant and highly collectable piece of photographic history. Serial number SR 6510495.

Key Features

  • One of the world's first Aperture Priority automatic exposure SLR cameras
  • M42 screw mount — compatible with a vast range of Takumar and M42 lenses
  • Electronically controlled shutter for precise automatic exposure
  • Fully manual exposure mode available
  • Bright and clear viewfinder with exposure information display
  • Solid all-metal construction built to professional standards
  • TTL centre-weighted metering for consistent and accurate exposures
  • A landmark camera from Asahi Pentax's golden era

Condition Report

  • Body: Good condition — light handling marks consistent with age and use, no cracks or damage
  • Sensor/Optics: Viewfinder clear and bright; focusing screen in good order
  • Mechanics/Electronics: Shutter fires correctly across all modes; all controls and film transport functioning as expected

"The Pentax ES is one of those cameras that deserves far more recognition than it typically receives. It was genuinely ahead of its time — aperture priority automation in 1971 was a remarkable achievement — and the M42 mount means you can pair it with some of the finest vintage glass ever produced. In good condition this is a historically significant and thoroughly rewarding film body."

Asahi Opt. Co. Super-Takumar 35mm f/3.5 - Good Condition | Classic Wide-Angle Prime in M42 Mount

The Asahi Opt. Co. Super-Takumar 35mm f/3.5 is a beautifully crafted vintage wide-angle prime from Asahi's celebrated Takumar lens lineage — a series renowned for exceptional build quality, outstanding optical performance, and a rendering character that remains highly sought after by photographers and collectors worldwide. The 35mm focal length delivers a natural and versatile wide-angle perspective that excels in landscape, street, architecture, and environmental portrait photography. Multi-coated Super-Takumar glass ensures excellent contrast and colour accuracy, while the all-metal construction and smooth focus ring provide a tactile shooting experience that modern plastic lenses simply cannot replicate. In M42 mount, it adapts effortlessly to virtually any modern mirrorless or film body. Serial number SR 3565713.

Key Features

  • 35mm focal length — natural wide-angle perspective for landscapes, street, and architecture
  • f/3.5 maximum aperture with clean and characterful rendering
  • Super-Takumar multi-coating for excellent contrast, colour accuracy, and flare resistance
  • M42 screw mount — compatible with a vast range of film and digital bodies via adapter
  • Manual focus operation with smooth, well-damped focus ring
  • Solid all-metal construction of the highest quality

"The Super-Takumar 35mm f/3.5 is one of those lenses that Pentax and M42 enthusiasts seek out with good reason. The wide-angle perspective combined with Takumar's characteristic rendering makes it a joy to use for street and landscape work — sharp where it needs to be, smooth where it counts, and with a build quality that puts most modern glass to shame."
