Author of “THE ULTIMATE ASAHI PENTAX  Screw Mount Guide 1952 – 1977”  announced.
“Hello Pentax aficionados,
 
I started writing on the second edition of my book. It has been more than twenty years ago since the first edition appeared. The new edition will be aimed more towards collecting and using old Asahi Pentax cameras and Takumar lenses.
 
Don't expect the book to come out soon. It took me 7 years to write the first edition, but it won't take that long for the second.
 
To be on the safe side, the first print order will not exceed a few hundred copies. If this is successful, a reprint will be done.  I hope you will be interested.
 
Gerjan van Oosten           24 July 2020”
​The author gave 7000 early serial numbers to Takumar Field Guide. In time for his planned second edition, all pages here will be updated by 2021. Please use Facebook to contact the author.
 
Regards,
 
Droo

    Thread mounted (M42) Takumar lenses are native to Asahi Pentax cameras. I used Takumars in field biology from 1972. I hope my research interests you.
