This listing features a classic All Black Asahi Pentax ES II 35mm SLR paired with the legendary SMC Takumar 55mm f/1.8 lens, a fast normal prime known for sharp images and beautiful vintage rendering. The ES II is an advanced M42-mount camera offering both fully manual control and aperture-priority automatic exposure, making it ideal for photographers who want a traditional feel with convenient auto metering.
Each camera in this curated series is hand‑selected, inspected, cleaned, and function‑tested (shutter, meter, film advance, and self‑timer) but not film‑tested, giving buyers a dependable user‑grade classic with honest patina. New light seals are installed if needed, and fresh batteries are included so the electronic shutter and meter are ready to go straight out of the box.
