市面上最稀有的八枚玉版本，當年可與蔡司pk，有鍍膜，早期不帶輻射版。八枚玉只生產不足2年，產量極少。從外觀上分辨嘅方法，就是對焦尺上的紅外線記號。如果位於 f/4 同中央紅菱角之間，就代表初代八枚玉；否則就屬於後期版本。後期版本雖然較為便宜，但均使用了帶有輻射的玻璃，可能對人體造成傷害。

鏡頭功能正常，光圈收縮正常。外觀因鏡頭有一定歷史，十分輕微露白，正常使用磨損痕跡。前後鏡片無劃痕，無黴無霧無脫膠。但因為老鏡頭，自訂為少塵。很漂亮，收藏使用皆可。此鏡頭買回來沒怎麼用過，特價出售。如果不壓價，送原裝鏡頭皮桶。以下為pentax論壇上對該鏡頭的介紹：

The first version of the Super Takumar 50mm F1.4 had 8 lens elements. Notice the cemented triplet with curved surfaces - very difficult and expensive to manufacture and it‘s said Asahi lost money on every copy sold; hence it didn’t last very long. This was meant as a Planar-killer and once its crown had been awarded by the press the simplified 7/6 version was quietly ushered in (before the 8/6 crippled Asahi‘s finances).

This 8 element version can be identified on the location of the infrared focus mark: The mark is to the right of the numeral 4 on the DOF scale. This is nicely illustrated in the second image above.

This 8 element version can also be identified on the slightly protruding rear lens element and on the stop down switch, which is marked A M (rather than Auto Man as on the later versions). Also, the early version never has a dot on the aperture ring at the f/2 position whereas the later versions may or may not have a dot.
