The Super-Takumar 55mm f/1.8 is a classic manual-focus standard prime from Asahi Pentax's well-regarded Takumar lens series. Its 55mm focal length provides a natural perspective suitable for portraits, street photography, everyday subjects, travel, and general-purpose film photography. The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture provides useful low-light capability while allowing for shallow depth of field and pleasing subject separation.

The lens uses the widely adopted M42 screw mount, making it compatible with a range of vintage M42-mount 35mm SLR cameras.

All lenses sold by CPB Darkroom are inspected for optical condition, focusing operation, aperture responsiveness, mount integrity, and overall mechanical functionality. Any cosmetic, optical, or functional notes are clearly described and reflected in the condition grade.
