The Pentax K and M42 lens club


M42 lenses again.
The mount not created by Pentax, but which Pentax made so many excellent lenses with that they usurped it to become their own, becoming also known as 'Pentax screw mount"

Takumar 58/2 which is the only Sonnar in the 50mm focal length

the ‘Asahiflex’ was put on sale on the Japanese home market in May 1952. The range of lenses introduced with the camera were called ‘Takumar’, after Takuma Kajiwara, a relative of both the founder, Kumao Kajiwara and the company President, Saburo Matsumoto. Takuma Kajiwara had gone to America around 1900 and had made his way as a photographer. He was also reported to be associate of George Eastman, the founder of ‘Kodak’.

MF or AF with AP?

What I meant, was AF accidentally set when used with MF lens.

Do not know what cam used, was the focus screen replaced or something to do with eyepiece diopter adjustment...
