The mount of this lens is a screw-in M42 (Practical Screw Mount (P-mount)).
The P mount was first used on lenses released in 1948 in East Germany at that time.
Since then, the P-mount has been spreading all over the world because it is easy to manufacture in terms of structure and production.
Many lenses were filled with P-mount lenses.
It is no wonder that there are many vintage lenses with M42 mount lenses.
Asahi Kogaku, with an eye on the future, used P-mount lenses to produce hit products all over the world.
This lens is one of those M42 mount lenses.
M42 mount lenses are very common in Vintage Shop Japan’s product lineup.
This lens was released in 1973.
The lens is in good condition overall.
There is a little haze on the edge of the rear lens, but you can enjoy the tasteful rendering.
It is a very nice lens.
