DESCRIPTION
VARIATION
- In this version an orange "diamond" replaces the "lollipop" at the centre of the DOF guage.
NOTES
- Seventy-six earlier batches of the "Super" were manufactured but just 7 final batches of the "Super-Multi-Coated" (This lens) were produced. Neither carry the product number on their aperture switches. A new design for later 85mm Takumar lenses followed.
