Asahi Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 35mm f/2
The Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 35mm f/2 is a fast wide-angle prime made by Asahi Optical for the Pentax M42 screw mount, dating from the early 1970s SMC Takumar era. It was designed as a premium reportage and general-purpose wide-angle for the Spotmatic system, offering a usefully fast f/2 aperture for available-light work.
Auction data for this lens is thin: a single recorded UK saleroom hammer in March 2025 sold at £90, which gives a reference point but not a reliable median. Cleaner copies with smooth focus and clear glass tend to sell for more than tired examples in the auction market today, and condition will dominate what any individual example is worth in 2026.
