Co. Super-Takumar 50mm f\/1.4 is one of the most celebrated and sought-after vintage lenses ever produced — a legendary standard prime from Asahi's golden era of optical manufacturing that delivers exceptional sharpness, outstanding low-light performance, and a rendering quality that remains highly sought after by photographers and collectors alike. The SMC predecessor Super-Takumar coating ensures good contrast and colour accuracy, while the fast f\/1.4 maximum aperture opens up extraordinary creative possibilities for available light photography and portraiture. Note that this example has minor fungus present on the lens elements — this is disclosed honestly and may have a minor effect on contrast in certain shooting conditions. In M42 mount, it adapts effortlessly to modern mirrorless bodies via adapter. Serial number SR 3386997.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e50mm focal length — classic standard perspective for portraits, street, and everyday shooting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eExceptional f\/1.4 maximum aperture for outstanding low-light performance and beautiful background separation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSuper-Takumar coating for good contrast and colour accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eM42 screw mount — compatible with a vast range of film and digital bodies via adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eManual focus operation with smooth, well-damped focus ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSolid all-metal construction of the highest quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eA genuine classic from Asahi Optical Co.'s golden era\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBody: Good condition — light marks consistent with age and use, no cracks or damage to barrel or mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOptics: Minor fungus present on lens elements — may have a minor effect on contrast in certain shooting conditions; no haze or significant dust otherwise visible; coatings intact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMechanics: Focus ring operates smoothly and precisely; aperture blades clean and snappy; mount clean and secure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cblockquote class=\"ml-2 border-l-4 border-[hsl(var(--border-300)\/0.1)] pl-4 text-text-300\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\"The Super-Takumar 50mm f\/1.4 is one of those lenses that photographers seek out for its exceptional rendering and legendary reputation.
