===== Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 20mm f/4.5 ===== (INSERT SINGLE HERO IMAGE HERE - other images below in media section) ==== Summary ==== The S-M-C / Super-Takumar 20mm f/4.5 is a rare and distinctive ultra-wide-angle prime produced by Asahi Optical Co. between 1968 and 1975 for M42 screw-mount cameras. It was one of the widest rectilinear lenses available at the time, offering a dramatic 94° diagonal field of view on full-frame—ideal for landscape, architecture, and creative perspective work.\\ \\ There are two main versions: 1. The Super-Takumar (1968–1971): 11 elements in 10 groups, 5-blade diaphragm, 58mm filter thread, and a weight of 251g; 2. The Super-Multi-Coated (S-M-C) Takumar (1971–1975): Same optics, but with SMC coatings for improved contrast and flare resistance, and a slightly lighter build at 246g.\\ \\ Both versions stop down to f/16, focus as close as 20cm, and deliver 0.13× magnification. Due to the bulbous front element, Pentax recommended using 77mm filters with a step-up ring to avoid vignetting, though the native thread is 58mm. A square clip-on hood was included, and the lens shipped in a dedicated hard case. ==== Tech Specs ==== | Manufacturer |Pentax| | Series |M42 Series| | Model |Super-Multi-Coated Takumar| | Focal Length |20mm| | Max Aperture |f/4.5| | Min Aperture |f/16| | Format |Full-Frame| | Image Circle |⌀| | Minimum Focus |20cm| | Focus Rotation |°| | Iris Blades |5| | Optical Design |11/10| | Squeeze |none| | Front Diameter |63mm| | Filter Thread |58mm| | Focus/Zoom Rod |none| | Native Mount |M42| | Data Protocol |none| | Length |45mm| | Weight |246g| | Body Telescope |-| | Body Material |-| | Focus Drive |-| | Iris Drive |-| | Zoom Drive |-| ==== History ==== Country of Origin: - \\ Release Date: 1971 \\ Launch Price: - \\ Design Revisions:\\ ==== Service ==== Service Manual: (Insert link to manual here) \\ \\ Full CLA: **#hrs.**\\ Enter relevant notes here\\ ==== Cine-Mod ==== Focus Ring O.D.: -\\ Zoom Ring O.D.: -\\ Iris Ring O.D.: -\\ De-click Y/N: -\\ Additional Notes: \\ ==== Notes ==== ==== Media ====
