    THE END OF THE LINE ----------------
    Twenty Five years of the Screw Mount Takumar Lens
    Beginning in May 1952 with the Asahiflex I, Asahi Optical Company began producing 35mm SLR cameras with screw mount lenses. This continued on to the first ASAHI Pentax (AP) produced in May 1957, the first Pentax Spotmatic SP produced in July 1964, and through all the Spotmatic models up to and including the second production series of the Spotmatic SP II, that along with the Spotmatic 1000, ceased production in January 1977 as the final Screw Mount model Pentax 35mm SLR cameras to be produced, at which time the bayonet mount Pentax K 1000 superseded its Spotmatic 1000 predecessor, and the famed Takumar name changed to Pentax to distinguish the new bayonet mount lens from Asahi's 25 year old line of screw mount lenses.
    Here is a
    very clean and serviceable ASAHI Pentax Spotmatic SP II - perfect for any collection.
    About as close to mint condition as you are likely to find.
    The Spotmatic SP II was manufactured in two separate production runs, with serial numbers between 5000001 and 5500000
    manufactured
    between April 1971 and July 1973, and those with serial numbers from 6200001 - 6210000 produced between October 1974 and January 1977.
    Based on the serial number of this particular example (
    6211821) it was most likely produced near the end of the Spotmatic SP II's second and final production run, and what along with the Spotmatic SP 1000, would be the end of the line for the M42 Screw Mount Pentax Cameras.
    Everything appears to work as designed.
    Comes complete with the f/1.8 55mm SMC Takumar and cap, along with a black Pentax leather case.
    The lens is in outstanding condition with no fungus or cloudiness. The case is in very good shape for its age.
