The Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 1000mm f/8 is an ultra-telephoto prime lens for Asahi Pentax's M42 screw-mount system, dating from the SMC Takumar era of the early-to-mid 1970s. Built as a specialist long-reach optic for wildlife, aviation and distant subject work, it is one of the longest focal lengths Pentax produced in the screw-mount line and remains a scarce sight on the used market.

UK auction evidence is thin: a single recorded hammer result at Chiswick Auctions in July 2025 sold for £403, which sets the only verifiable wholesale data point at saleroom level today. With just one sale on file, that figure is best treated as an indicative value rather than a true median, and well-presented examples with original case and hood could reasonably sell for more in 2026 given the lens's rarity. Buyers asking what a Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 1000mm f/8 is worth should weigh that single £403 hammer price against condition, completeness and the auction-versus-private-sale gap.
