This shows the hazards of jumping into a thread somewhere in the middle, this discussion was about the letter designations ie A, F, AF, FA, M, (K) on K mount lenses.
The post by John Francis (copied below) named Takumar-A and Takumar-F, as tho' they existed.
It was that question I was addressing.
If John's question was prompted by what you say above, then it was ME that jumped into the middle of a thread and started growing a new branch!
Then wandered into the names on lenses Pentax vs Takumar, where unfortunately Pentax decided to use the Takumar name for second rate equipment, (apologies in advance to users of the Takumar f2.5 135 in K mount, as they seem to love it), there was no slight to m42 SMC Takumars or Super Takumars intended.
No offense taken, Peter!
I have yet to expose any film thru MY Takumar {Bayonet} f/2.5 135mm, but look forward to it!
If it's half as good as my model I M42 mount Takumar f/2.5 135mm, it will be a quite acceptable lens!
