Asahi Pentax 28mm f/3.5

{"overview":"The Asahi Pentax 28mm f\/3.5 Super-Takumar is a wide-angle prime lens for the M42 screw mount, produced during the Super-Takumar era of the 1960s and 1970s. As of today in 2026 the 28mm f\/3.5 Super-Takumar sits in the accessible end of the M42 Takumar market at saleroom level, and clean, haze-free copies tend to sell for the upper figures while scruffier examples see values drop sharply.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear elements for fungus, haze and coating scratches, as older Takumars often show internal haze that dulls contrast. Check that the aperture blades are dry and snap cleanly, since oil migration from the helicoid is a common issue, and turn the focus ring end-to-end to confirm it is smooth rather than stiff or gritty.
