MLT2 Modified Bubble Lens Super-Takumar 1:1.8 55mm

Modified Bubble Bokeh Lens ASAHI PENTAX Super-Takumar 1:1.8 55mm M42 Mount

☆ This lens has been modified to produce bubble bokeh with emphasized outlines, rather than the usual circular bokeh, when shooting with a blurred background. It's fun to shoot dappled sunlight through trees, reflections on leaves, or water surfaces on sunny days to get beautiful bubble bokeh.
* When shooting bokeh, the focus plane tends to be soft focus (close to out of focus).

☆ Exterior: Shows signs of scratches, scuffs, and paint loss. Rated as good condition+.
☆ Lens (dust/debris=minor, fungus=none, haze=minor, scratches=almost none). All are within the range that does not affect image quality. The yellowing of the rear element is also minimal.
★ Mount is a screw-in M42 mount.
☆ Focus and aperture operations are smooth.
☆ Accessories (all used):
・ Front PENTAX metal cap
・ Rear generic cap

☆ This is a bubble bokeh enhanced lens with a modified optical configuration.
☆ No special operation or settings are required; it can be used exactly like a normal 55mm lens. You can also enjoy various rendering effects by adjusting the focus and aperture.
☆ Close focus, aperture wide open: This setting maximizes the circular bubble bokeh effect.
☆ Far focus, aperture wide open: This results in a swirly bokeh.
☆ Medium aperture: The soft focus effect diminishes, resulting in rendering closer to a normal lens (the bubble bokeh effect weakens when stopped down).
☆ Close focus, medium aperture: This produces hexagonal bokeh.
☆ Focusing range is approximately 40cm to infinity (slight individual differences may occur) (distance markings may be inaccurate).
☆ Since this is an M42 mount, a separate mount conversion adapter will be required for use with modern digital cameras.
☆ Sample photos may include shots taken with SMC/Super/Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR lenses, but the effect is largely the same. Manual: https://jp.mercari.com/item/m15531207067 (listed previously).
