Well, for what it is worth, I have both a Super Takumar 1.8/ and a 2.0. Both have a front ring that corresponds with their diafragm ring. I have neither a ESII or a SP F. I think one came with my SP and one with my SV or S1a. Maybe this helps: http://www.aohc.it/slr02e.htm and http://www.aohc.it/tak03e.htm My SP1000 came with a SMC Takumar, not a Super Takumar. What this all means is the question, exchangable lenses being, uhm, exchangable ;-) > That data comes from the white pamplet which is newer.
