Fish-eye-Takumar 1:11/18mm

Sample Images made with this lens

Unlike many other ultra-wide-angle lenses, the Takumar 18mm lens affords actual through-the-lens viewing, permitting the photographer to view the subject and compose the picture through the viewfinder of the Pentax. No rangefinders or attachments are needed!

Extremely compact and lightweight, the 18mm Takumar becomes an effective tool in the hands of the creative photographer who utilizes the barrel distortion deliberately incorporated into its design. You will note in the illustration on the opposite page that the center portion of the format is free of distortion, permitting razor-sharp reproduction of subject matter.
