Keith, I don't know about all the Takumar K-mount lenses, but I have used the Takumar K 135/2.5. In comparison to the M 135/3.5, I could see the difference on my 3x5 inch prints. The Takumar was fuzzier in a non-flare situation. This is why I avoid Takumar K-mount lenses. Regards, Bob S.
Really...How interesting!
I have a Tak K-mount 135/2.5 but have not used it.
I will look for the differences.
It's so easy to use my authentic Tak M42 135s (f/2.5 and f/3.5) on my K bodies, with the adapter, and I DO know how they record images!
Still, the Tak K 135/2.5 was so inexpensive, I figured "Why not?"

All SMC gives you is freedom from flare and such... If you use an otherwise capable non-SMC lens in less demanding situations, you can still get excellent photographs. If they had made this lens with SMC coatings, would the category immediately switch to "a great lens?"
Curious so many denigrate it...
