Takumar Lenses Japan Index

This manual is written in Japanese text and is accompanied by several photographs.  Unlike the manuals, I am not able to convert the text portions to text, so conversion to a PDF file would not offer much benefit, especially since the Japanese text becomes unreadable (to those that can read it to begin with...) when reduced in size and quality.

This manual appears to coincide with the Asahi Pentax S2, S3 cameras, and shows the extent to which the Pentax lens system had progressed up to that time.   This manual, even though not in English, is still very interesting.
