Equipment Type: Lens
Equipment Brand: Pentax
Equipment Model: Pentax Takumar 58mm F2.0 early Sonnar lens
Price (S$): 350$
Description:
This is the one and only standard lens based on Sonnar design available for SLR camera. This design is very common for standard lens or shorter focal length on rangefinder cameras, not SLR due to the reflex mirror so this is the only choice if you want to try it on SLR camera. This design is well-known for smooth bokeh and transition, the image is sharp in the center and soften out nicely to the edges.
You can refer to below sites if you want more details. It is considered one of rarest takumars:

My copy is working fine but not in great condition as you would expected from a 55 years old lens.
- Glass has some cleaning marks on front element, and a bit yellowish which can be cured under UV light but no fungus, no haze.
- Focusing is smooth but has some resistance if it is moved too fast toward the end.
Overall I would say not so bad consider its age. Photos produced by this lens are unique with smooth and painted-brush like bokeh.
