Asahi Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 105mm f/2.8

The Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 105mm f/2.8 is a short telephoto prime lens in the M42 screw mount, produced by Asahi Pentax during the early 1970s Super-Multi-Coated Takumar era. It was designed as a compact portrait and medium-telephoto optic for Pentax Spotmatic and other M42-compatible 35mm SLR bodies.

Hammer prices for this lens at recent UK auction have been modest, with the two recorded sales landing at £35 (August 2024) and £44 (March 2026), giving a median around £40. As of today in 2026 a clean, fungus-free copy is worth in that £35–£45 band at saleroom level, and since these are wholesale hammer results rather than dealer retail, tidy examples typically sell for more through shop channels.
