Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 35mm f/3·5 — General-purpose, moderate wide-angle lens where wide field coverage is desired in itself or while working close to principal subjects, especially where good foreground anchorage is desired in pictorial composition. A popular choice due to relatively low cost where low-light-level capabilities of faster lens is not required.1


Distance engravings in yellow (metres) and blue (feet); snapshot indication with red letterings at f/8 and 5 metres / 15 feet.

The same optical design as the Super-Takumar 1:3.5/35 lens.

The front element is not multicoated.
