Pentax Takumar lenses M42
A list compiled by Peter Jonkman

Below you will find a list of all Takumar lenses that were made for the Spotmatic and were available at the time the Spotmatic was sold. To keep the list readable on most screens, the headers of the columns have been changed in numbers. When I could not find data on a particular lens, I have marked it with a red "?". I would like it very much when you could provide me with the missing data. The list has been sorted on the focal length which, I think, makes it very easy to look up a particular lens.

1 - Lens name
2 - Focal length
3 - Diaphragm scale
4 - Auto/manual/preset diaphragm
5 - Number of elements and groups
6 - Angle of view (degrees)
7 - Closest focus (centimeters)
8 - Weigtht (grammes)
9 - Length of lens (millimeters)
10 - Biggest barrel diameter (millimeters)
11 - Filter size (millimeters)

Special thanks to Ian Andrew, Dario Bonazza and Giordano Cattaneo who provided valuable information on several Takumar lenses.
