Would be one incredible set for £1,200...

Thereafter there’s a little protrusion in the base of the lens which, when pressed, releases the aperture to the set value.

This is a Super Takumar 50mm F1.4 (the 8 element version) in excellent condition. Optically it is excellent, some minor dust- no fungus, coatings superb, focus smooth, aperture clicks positive and responsive, with an original metal front cap and a plastic rear cap.
I'm using manual lenses less and less, and this one is just sitting around so it ought to go to someone who'll get some good use out of it
I'll put some images up when I get a chance

I spotted that too, this morning... The Vario-Elmar piqued my interest as I've seen someone using one with excellent results (but a 28-75mm f/3.5 if I recall rightly?). That said, I don't NEED more lenses right now.

Yet there still seems to be the odd model or two that haven't been elevated to the dizzy heights (yet!) - again LCE have a Contax, this time the Contax N1 with a Vario-Sonnar 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 Carl Zeiss lens for £299. This model was their Autofocus Film flagship with a pretty high spec and build - I don't know a great deal about it, but I'm pretty certain it was a very expensive model at launch and well regarded. I've always had a fondness for Contax (having sold quite a few in my time) but never owned one, if I was teetering on the edge of dabbling back in film I'd probably have bought this one.
Anyone on here ever owned this one?
I understand where you are coming from Kris - I can remember when nobody seemed to want the Pentax 67's and they were selling for peanuts. Now they are just so expensive, I enjoyed mine for a couple of years - but I'm sure I sprained my wrist a few time from using it out in the field
