It is famous for its excellent sharpness, gentle character and exceptional mechanical quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eWith a 6-element, 5-group optical design, the lens delivers crisp detail, especially when stopped down, and a soft, pleasing glow at wider apertures. Its single-coated optics give a slightly warm, classic vintage look that many photographers find especially attractive for portraits and everyday scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eThe all-metal construction and buttery-smooth focusing ring are hallmarks of Takumar lenses. The lens feels solid and precise in the hand, and the clearly engraved scales make zone focusing and depth-of-field estimation simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eThe 55mm focal length is a slightly long standard lens on 35mm film, ideal for street, travel and environmental portraits. The bright f\/1.8 aperture makes it practical in low light and offers beautiful background separation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eAn Auto\/Manual switch on the barrel allows the aperture to be stopped down manually for metering on Spotmatic cameras and when used on adapters, making it very convenient for adapted use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eThanks to the universal M42 screw mount, this lens can be used on a wide range of film cameras, including Pentax Spotmatic and other M42 bodies, and adapts very easily to modern mirrorless cameras such as Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon RF, Nikon Z and Micro Four Thirds. Simple, inexpensive adapters are widely available, and the lens can even be used on Canon EOS DSLRs with an M42-EF adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eOn APS-C mirrorless cameras, the lens becomes an approximately 83mm equivalent short telephoto, making it a superb and affordable portrait lens. Its smooth focus throw also makes it popular for video work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eIf you are looking for an iconic vintage lens with beautiful rendering, excellent build and almost universal adaptability, the Super-Takumar 55mm f\/1.8 is a classic that deserves a place in any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"color: rgb(44, 62, 80); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 24px; background: linear-gradient(135deg, rgb(244, 249, 255) 0%, rgb(232, 242, 252) 100%); border: 1px solid rgb(207, 224, 241); border-radius: 10px; padding: 18px 20px;\"\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;color:#173b63;margin-bottom:8px;\"\u003e Specialty Store for Used Cameras \u0026amp; Lenses \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.9;color:#42586e;\"\u003e We are a Japan-based specialty store focusing on used cameras and lenses.\u003cbr\u003e Our items are carefully inspected and described as accurately as possible for international buyers. \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pentax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50647491674250,"sku":"20261011JPY","price":60.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/2977\/4474\/files\/s-l1600_786cfae0-94d1-47dc-aa50-69645700a231.jpg?v=1793591101","url":"https:\/\/peek-a-boo-camera-japan.myshopify.com\/products\/near-mint-pentax-super-takumar-55mm-f-1-8-m42-mf-standard-lens-japan-e0402","provider":"PEEK A BOO CAMERA JAPAN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
