This is the first version of the Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4 which has 8 lens elements due to a 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 Carl Zeiss 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).

Can also be identified on the slightly protruding rear lens element (shown below)
