TAKUMAR INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES The Asahi Pentax offers many interchangeable lenses in a wide variety of focal lengths, all of which are highly respected by both professional and amateur photographers for their fine resolution. The photographic coverage of the various Takumar lenses is illustrated on page 29. With focal length longer than 55mm, the subject image is seen through the viewfinder larger than its life size. Regardless of the lens selected for your Asahi Pentax, there is never need for an accessory viewfinder, ordinarily required for rangefinder type cameras. When interchanging lenses, hold the lens by the focusing ring. When attaching a lens, filter, or lenshood, do not screw it tightly, as you may find it difficult to remove. FIXED FOCUS SETTING Because of the considerable depth of field of wide-angle lenses, you can use them as fixed focus lens if the diaphragm and distance scales are set properly. For your convenience, the Super-Takumar and Super-Multi-Coated Takumar lenses shown on page 30-31 (marked with *) have a fixed focus mark. Just align with the index the orange-colored figures of the diaphragm and distance scales, and the lens will be in fixed focus from foreground to infinity. You'll find this extremely convenient for fast shooting. SUPER-MULTI-COATED (SMC) TAKUMARS Pentax SMC Takumar lenses are the world's first 7-layer multi-coated lenses. A truly remarkable optical achievement. Conventional lenses have only 1-3 layer coatings. The additional coatings of SMC Takumar lenses let in more light resulting in truer colors. Reflection is reduced to 0.2p/o, allowing the remaining 99.8% of light to pass through. This means higher light transmission, and the brightest lens possible. Colors pass through with 28 equal intensity so color balance is strikingly improved. Brighter blues. Vibrant reds. Truer yellows. SMC Takumar lenses make it possible. And, no ghosts or flares even when shooting against the sun. Ultraviolet light is reflected off the glass surface. So, only true colors are absorbed. Undesired rays are kept out. SMC Takumar lenses are for people interested in the ultimate in photographic lenses.
