But,
if you don't have to pay too much for it, it can be a decent-enuf 135
(200mm "effective FL" on the D/DS/DL). (I think it's really an f/
2.8 lens,
but I won't quibble too much here...)
Excuse me?
The lens says "Super-Multi-Coated Takumar."
what do you mean "It's not SMC"?
You, of all people, ought to know that it *IS* SMC.
I hope you're talking about the same lens I am. I have a lens in front
of me marked "TAKUMAR (BAYONET) 1:2.5 135mm 5568860 ASAHI OPTICAL
CO." No mention of SMC. That's the one I'm referring to. It's an
inexpensive lens for sure.
A cheap, used Nikon HN-7 metal lens hood is a perfect fit and helps
enormously with the flare problem.

Sorry about the mixup. I don't recall having seen the word "(Bayonet)"
in the original post. Perhaps I just missed it!
I'll go back to my corner now...face against the wall! ;-)
