Super-Takumar-Zoom 70mm~150mm f/4·5 — Proven by an impartial and authorative test to be the best zoom lens for 35mm single-lens reflex. Extremely versatile zooming range from 70mm to 150mm for fast action shooting.1


The tripod collar of the Super-Takumar 1:4/300 also fits on this lens.

The last samples were supplied with the new multi-coating and rubberised grips, but lack the full aperture metering mechanism.


* The lens is sold with a special “close-up” filter that enables it to focus from 3·5 to 1·9 metres. This is marked in white on the distance scale.
