INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
VARIATION
NOTES
- This is the second Super-Takumar model to have a Product number inscribed on the back of the aperture switch (from approximately SN 1718458.)
LENS PRODUCTION (∑ lenses) ∑n = 2024 Serial Numbers observed in 224 Batches covering 217,084 SN min. < ∑ lenses < 275,987 SN max.
SN min. = accumulated total of serial numbers observed within 224 batches
SN max. = accumulated total of serial numbers observed between adjacent batches of other lenses.
Letter font is "oval", cursive with open "4". The serial number is after the lense's name; and no comma follows the makers name.
Aperture ring has coarse knurling and the formula is generally A=9/10;
Focus ring formula F=9/12 dominates after SN1570000 ▼ gradually replacing all F=10/12 at the start ▲.
▼ ▼ 37100 product marking starts (1966)
