Enjoy your videos, Juan. Especially the images you create with the lens. You probably know that there were several Asahi Optical Co. preset lenses. It was the purchase of a very rare one, as part of a Spotmatic collection that began my lens acquisition. Or rather I should say the SALE of the rare one. A 1957 100mm f3.5 Takumar (in m42) that I sold for a high dollar to a collector in France. That sale funded additional purchases and started me on a buy/sell education in Pentax lenses and bodies.
It was from another (200mm f5.6 purchased for $15) that I learned that slow lenses could give you great colors and that oily aperture blades were of no concern on a preset lens. I believe that I still have the following Asahi Optical presets: 50mm f4 macro 135mm f3.5 200mm f5.6 300mm f6.3 There were also presets in the 105mm f2.8 and three "standard lenses" from 1957, a 58mm in f2.4, f2.2, and f2.0.
