Paired with the legendary Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 55mm f\/1.8, this combination offers exceptional sharpness, rich contrast, and beautiful colour rendition. The advanced multi-coating technology helps reduce flare while maintaining excellent contrast, and the bright f\/1.8 aperture provides outstanding low-light performance and attractive background separation. This setup is particularly well suited for portraits, street photography, documentary work, and everyday shooting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis camera uses standard \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e35mm (135) film\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, producing images in the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24 × 36 mm format\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSLR cameras and lenses sold by CPB Darkroom are inspected for shutter functionality, optical clarity, mechanical reliability, and film transport performance, with any cosmetic or functional notes clearly described and reflected in the condition grade.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PENTAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45610758635603,"sku":null,"price":15500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0103\/0317\/6755\/files\/Image_1Large_dd9142bf-453a-41a9-aedd-1337e2688ce0.jpg?v=1780895309","url":"https:\/\/shop.chennaiphotobiennale.com\/products\/asahi-pentax-spotmatic-f-asahi-super-multi-coated-takumar-55mm-f-1-8-slr-film-camera-lens-good-1","provider":"CPB Foundation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
