Questions
What mount does the Super-Takumar 105mm f/2.8 use?
It is an M42 screw-mount lens, compatible with Pentax Spotmatic-era bodies and other M42 cameras, and it can be adapted to most modern mirrorless systems.
What should I check before buying one?
Look for fungus, haze and coating scratches on the glass, oil on the aperture blades, and a smooth focus helicoid, as these are the main issues that reduce the value of Takumar lenses of this era.
