Spec Notes
PRESET diaphragm. Physical specs are SINGLE-SOURCE (klassik-cameras, itself compiled second-hand from van Oosten 1999) and are marked low confidence accordingly - they are what a future correction attaches to. Aperture blades NOT SOURCED. NOT THE M42 LENS OF THE SAME NAME: Asahi remounted several of these optics to M42 in 1957 and the catalogue holds the M42 rows separately. Never merge on focal length, aperture and the Takumar name alone. Elements/groups corroborated by the Takumar Field Guide ('seven elements in four groups') as well as klassik, so that pair is medium rather than low. Rarest of the M37 long lenses - Field Guide estimates ~1,080 copies. The M42 sibling is catalogued as `takumar-83mm-f19` (1957).
