Asahi Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 500mm f4.5 Filter Type_Colour an accurate metering prismThe Asahi Super Multi Coated Takumar 500mm f4. 5 is a large, heavy telephoto lens for M42 thread mount. I mean, it's not unusually large for a 500mm f4. 5 lens, but it's still no joke: just short of 3. 5kg and 50cm long. Focusing is smooth, diaphragm is clean, and glass has only minor dust. A huge lens in excellent condition.
