Asahi Pentax Takumar 35mm f/4
The Asahi Pentax Takumar 35mm f/4 is a manual-focus wide-angle prime lens from the early M42 screw-mount era, designed for Asahi Pentax SLR bodies. It is a moderate wide-angle optic intended for general-purpose landscape, architectural, and reportage work on 35mm film cameras.
UK auction data is thin for this Takumar, with one recorded hammer result of £88 in 2022 — a saleroom figure that excludes buyer's and seller's commission and reflects the wholesale level rather than dealer retail asking prices. With only a single data point on record as of 2026, the lens's worth is hard to pin down precisely, but clean copies tend to sell for two-figure sums at UK auction rather than the higher prices commanded by faster Takumar wide-angles.
