Ultra rare. Asahi Black Pentar SLR 35mm Takumar 2/55 Not Pentax but Pentar H2. There is no other !! Open to be proven otherwise : )

After WWII, Zeiss Ikon was split into two companies: One in East Germany and the other in West Germany, and they had trademark disputes over prewar product brands. The name "Pentax" was purportedly retained by the West German company, which, in turn, sold or licensed it to the Asahi Optical Company. But the East German company, which later became part of Pentacon, claimed that it had retained rights to the the "Pentax" name and asserted exclusivity. Most countries recognized the legitimacy of the West German grant to Asahi, but a few did not, including South Africa, Libya and a couple others. In those territories, from about 1957, Asahi released their early pentaprism SLRs using the alternate marques "Pentar", "Penta" and its own "Asahiflex" instead, and such examples are uncommonly found today. Eventually the "Pentax" trademark was settled in Asahi's favor worldwide.
