This lens is from the 1960s, from the time of the original classic Asahi Pentax Spotmatic, a landmark camera in the history of 35mm photography.
Interesting, in its day, this lens was considered to have the best optical performance of all of lenses in Pentax range. It is of course a 42mm screw-mount lens, so will fit just about all of the screw-mount camera brands of... the time. More importantly perhaps, it can now be used via the correct adapter, with many current brands of mirrorless digital cameras.
As can be seen from the photos, this lens is in very nice cosmetic condition and the optics are perfect, inside and out, definitely no dust of fungus inside. Mechanically it is fully functional and the focussing has that trademark "Pentax-smooth"ness.
As can be seen in one of the photos, it does have an engraving on bottom of the barrel, indicating it once belonged to a "Science Dept." The engraving is neat and generally doesn't detract form the len's overall excellent condition
Comes with its original Pentax front and rear caps AND the very-hard-to-find genuine Pentax accessory lens hood (with its original leather case).
