ASAHI PENTAX Auto-Takumar 35mm F3.5 M42 screw mount lens w/ original case, caps This is an excellent, functional, used lens. It's a first-generation Auto-Takumar with the aperture actuation button on the side. This one is super clean, it shows only very light wear for a lens of its age. It works great; the aperture is snappy, the focus is smooth, the glass is clean and clear with minimal dust. It comes with original front and rear lens caps, and an original blue velvet lined brown leat...her hard case.Thanks for looking!Notes on shipping: I urge you to click on the "Shipping and Payments" tab above to view your shipping options, especially on heavier items. The default option is not always the cheapest. You also have the option of choosing your shipping method when paying for the item, and again I urge you to take a look at your options; you could save a few bucks.On average, I LOSE MONEY ON SHIPPING. I feel the need to express this because I am getting many comments like "Come on, you gotta be able to ship it cheaper than that!" No, I can't, unless there are unusual circumstances. The fact that ebay/paypal takes 16% of what you pay me for shipping does not help that equation. I prefer to ship USPS. I can ship UPS, but it is not my preference, so if you want that service please request it and I will send an invoice showing the correct shipping amount. I can't ship FedEx. I live in a rural area that Fed Ex does not service. For international shipments, I will only use USPS. The hoops UPS makes me jump through as an international shipper are just too complicated and time consuming.I use almost exclusively recycled packaging to keep your shipping/handling costs down. I pack thoroughly, and I don't have many damaged shipments. It does happen occasionally, though, and in those cases I will make it right. If you (the buyer) want insurance or alternate shipping, we can work it out prior to payment. I will ship within 3 business days after receiving payment, usually quicker. International credit card payments are subject to PayPal regulations.I am conscientious about shipping to my buyers in the most efficient and inexpensive way, and often give a partial refund on shipping cost if it turns out to be significantly less than what was quoted.
