Asahi Super-Takumar 105mm f/2.8 - Good Condition | Specialty / Tilt-Shift Lens | Legendary M42 Mount Portrait Prime Lens

The Asahi Super-Takumar 105mm f/2.8 (S/N: 1712053) is a masterclass in vintage Japanese optical engineering, hailing from the golden era of Pentax. This classic short-telephoto prime is world-renowned for its "Takumar" build quality—a silky-smooth focus throw and robust all-metal construction that modern plastic lenses cannot match. Featuring a five-element optical design, the 105mm f/2.8 offers a slightly longer perspective than a standard 85mm, providing stunning subject separation and a signature "creamy" bokeh that has made it a cult favorite for portrait photographers. Its M42 universal screw mount ensures that this legendary glass can be easily adapted to almost any modern mirrorless or DSLR system, bringing its soulful, high-contrast rendering to the digital age.

Key Features

  • Fast f/2.8 maximum aperture for beautiful background blur and low-light performance

  • Ideal 105mm focal length for flattering portraits and compressed landscapes

  • Legendary "Takumar" manual focus feel with a long, precise 270-degree throw

  • Robust all-metal and glass construction designed for professional durability

  • Six-blade diaphragm providing smooth, natural out-of-focus highlights

  • Built-in "Auto/Manual" aperture switch for easy use on modern digital adapters

  • Compact and lightweight design considering its telephoto reach and fast aperture

Introductory Paragraph The Asahi Super-Takumar 105mm f/2.8 is more than just a lens; it is a precision instrument for the artist. This specific unit (S/N: 1712053) features the classic single-layer coatings that Takumars are famous for, producing a warm, nostalgic flare and micro-contrast that is perfect for filmic storytelling. The 105mm focal length offers a "tighter" frame than a 50mm, allowing you to isolate details and create intimate portraits with zero distortion. Whether you are shooting on a vintage Pentax Spotmatic or adapting it to a Sony, Fujifilm, or Canon mirrorless body, this lens delivers a tactile, mechanical experience that makes every click of the shutter feel intentional and rewarding.

Condition Report Good condition. The lens barrel (S/N: 1712053) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its vintage age. The optics are clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The manual focus mechanism is exceptionally smooth and well-damped across the entire range. The aperture ring clicks firmly at all stops, and the diaphragm blades are clean and free of oil. The "Auto/Manual" switch functions correctly. The M42 screw mount threads are in excellent condition, ensuring a secure fit to your camera or adapter.

Specialist Note "The 105mm Takumar is the 'sweet spot' of the Pentax lineup. What I love about this S/N: 1712053 is the way it renders skin tones; it has a gentle, glowing sharpness that is incredibly flattering for portraits. On a modern digital camera, the resolution is surprisingly high, but it maintains that vintage 'soul' that modern lenses lack. The focus ring is a dream to use—it’s so smooth it feels like it’s moving on silk. It’s an overbuilt, mechanical masterpiece that reminds you why Pentax was the king of the M42 era. If you want a portrait lens with character and a timeless build, this is it."
