Pentax Super Takumar 105mm f/2.8 Telephoto lens

The Super-Takumar 105mm f/2.8 is a compact and elegant short telephoto lens designed for the M42 screw mount system, and it’s a true gem for portrait and classic film shooters. With its slightly longer-than-standard focal length and fast f/2.8 aperture, this lens delivers beautiful subject separation, creamy bokeh, and that signature Takumar rendering—smooth, sharp, and full of character.

Built during the height of Asahi Pentax’s optical craftsmanship, the 105mm f/2.8 features all-metal construction, precision manual focus, and those warm, multicoated optics that make skin tones glow and backlighting a pleasure rather than a problem. Whether you’re shooting it on a Spotmatic or adapting to a modern mirrorless body, this lens just feels right.

Condition: Excellent

This Super-Takumar 105mm f/2.8 is in excellent condition. The optics are clean and clear with no haze, fungus, or scratches.

A beautiful and fully functional piece of Japanese lens history.

An ideal portrait lens with vintage charm and real-world usability—perfect for film and digital shooters alike.
