My latest junk store find

The legendary Auto Takumar 35mm f/2.3 of 1958-62. In 50 years of buying, trading and using M42 lenses I never owned one of these until stumbling over this one yesterday just a mile from home. It was the world's first fast retrofocus wide angle lens and confirmed Pentax's credentials as a serious camera company. Always rare, now very scarce in the market. Mounted here on Nex 3n.
