Crikey, to say I'm tempted is a severe understatement...
If it handles anything like my Auto-Takumar 55/2.2, it'll be a doozy.

The Auto Tak 55mm f2.2 is a cracker alright. If I didn't own a mint Tak 85mm f1.9 I would have bought this already. Got to be the best bargain 85mm tak I've seen.Crikey, to say I'm tempted is a severe understatement...

Grab it whilst you can Ben. You can always move it on if needed. Just my thoughts!....

Y'know, John, I have yet to see you post an image that isn't just perfect. Good luck with the sale. It looks a great lens.
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

It is in average to poor cosmetic condition but the optics are good - some minor marks on inner coating but external coatings look very nice, aperture blades show some slight silvering, and it functions beautifully. I don't have a hood for it (you will need one where there is backlight as these lenses don't handle stray light well) and there are caps but they are not the collectible Takumar ones.
Will add some images when I get a chance. Any questions please ask
I've priced this fairly low to move it on quite quickly (hopefully) - it's cheaper than any I've seen on Ebay for similar condition (most recent similar condition was £170 but they often go for over £200) - it's got a pretty good reputation:

and this is the earlier varsion.
Price: £149 plus P&P (No Offers)
