Super Takumar 50mm f1.4

Bought this second hand lens from ebay. It's in M42 mount. This lens is the first version of Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 and it had 8 lens elements instead of 7/6 as in the later version. It's quite rare to find. The early version can be identified by the red strip mark on the DOF scale, it's located on the right of numeral 4 while it's on the left in the later version. The early version's aperture switch is also labeled as A M instead of Auto Man as in the later version.
