Oregon City through Takumar Glass - 2021/01/22
Lens: SMC Takumar 55mm F2.0 - F16
The Asahi Optical Company which would later become Pentax, their Takumar lenses are still held in high regard today. This is one of the last versions of the Takumar 55mm F2.0. Other versions of the lens go back to the 1950s. Based on the serial number this one is from some time between 1974 & 1977. Since I don't have a Geiger counter I can't confirm if it's one of the thorium radioactive glass versions or not! The SMC (Super Multi Coated) lenses were the third & final versions of most Takumars. Preceded by Super Takumars & Original Takumars.
