The Asahi Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 35mm f/3.5 is a moderate wide-angle prime for the M42 screw mount, dating from Asahi Optical's SMC Takumar line of the late manual-focus era. It was designed as a compact, affordable wide-angle option for Pentax Spotmatic-series SLRs and other M42 bodies, sitting below the faster 35mm f/2 and f/3.5 Super-Takumar predecessors in cost while adding multi-coating.

UK auction evidence for this lens is thin: the only verified hammer result on file, from May 2025, sells for £19 at saleroom level — a wholesale price that excludes both buyer's and seller's commission. With a single data point in the auction market as of 2026, a meaningful range or median cannot be quoted, but the figure suggests the slower 35mm f/3.5 SMC Takumar is one of the more affordable M42 wide-angles today, well below what the 35mm f/2 variants typically achieve.
