Makes a total of four! :-) Yes, as do I. While I didn't plan it that way, I ended up with four M-42's: Super Takumar vers. II, product #37800, mfg. 10/66 - 11/66 Super Takumar vers. II, product #37801, mfg. 11/66 - 4/69 Super-Multi-Coated Tak, vers. II, Prod. # 37902, mfg. '71 - '72 SMC Takumar, vers. II, product #37908, mfg. '72 - '73 I lucked out and got one fine (near new) K-mount 50mm f/1.4, the super sharp SMC Pentax, mfg. '75 - '77. Reputed to be among the best performing of the 50mm Pentax lenses. 52mm filter threads... I think I'll keep one of the two SMC Taks and the K-mount 50, and sell the other 3. I only need one for my screwmounts and one for the K-mounts. Good talking 50's with you, Mark! <g> keith > Mark Roberts > Photography and writing > www.robertstech.com
