Pentax SMC Takumar 85-210 F/4.5 M42-Mount Zoom Lens

This Pentax SMC Takumar 85-210mm f/4.5 is a vintage M42-mount zoom lens that delivers excellent image quality and build in a surprisingly compact form for its focal length range. With Super-Multi-Coated (SMC) optics, this lens resists flare and produces warm, contrasty images with excellent sharpness throughout the zoom range. The M42 screw mount makes it adaptable to many modern mirrorless cameras, and it’s a favorite among vintage lens enthusiasts for video and portraiture alike.

Focus throw is smooth and the zoom mechanism glides effortlessly. With a constant f/4.5 aperture, it’s perfect for shooting portraits, candid street scenes from a distance, or nature photography with that old-school Takumar color rendering.

Condition: Excellent

This lens is in excellent condition with clean and clear glass. No haze, fungus, or separation is present. There is only minor internal dust, typical for its age, which will not impact image quality. Focus and zoom rings operate smoothly and the aperture blades are dry and snappy. Barrel shows light cosmetic wear only. A well-preserved example of one of Pentax’s classic telephoto zooms.

Whether you’re building out a Takumar collection or just want to experiment with vintage glass, this one’s a winner.
