Fluorite Takumar

[Ken Sinclair <photo1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I have just been offered an older f4,5/85 mm Pentax Utra-Achromatic Takumar
(that's the one wth the fluorite elements specifically designed for UV/IR
imaging. I comes with 4 filters... An R62 which looks suspiciously like a
Wratten 25, an R68 - considerably darker than the R62 and seems about the
equivalent of a Wratten 29. The third is "gold-looking" in the
rear...marked 862 mu (IR transmission)....  and the last marked 365 mu. and
"silver" on the rear (UVtransmission)

The lens and all filters are in impeccable condition in their velvet-lined
box... looks like they have seen very little use.

Has anyone got an idea as to a "fair" market value?

Ta muchly.

Ken
