Find of the day

This auction is for a Super Multi Coated Takumar 50mm 1.4.  The seller claims that this lens is in “Perfect working...perfect glasses...CLA'd...super clean...super lens...”.   Currently the lens is at $16.50 plus $8 for shipping.



Top Tip:  Some old lenses such as this Takumar use trace radioactive elements in their glass.  As these lenses age, they will turn yellowish.  According to web, one can expose them to UV light (e.g. putting them in the window frame for a few days) to undo the effect of aging.
