The lens cleaned this time is an ASAHI OPT.(PENTAX) telephoto lens.
Although it is a telephoto lens, it weighs only about 300g and is moderately light.
The lens is in beautiful condition.
Even after cleaning, there is no fading of the lettering on the lens, so it could be mistaken for a brand new lens.
Please enjoy the fun of vintage lenses with this lens.
