Yep, but both of the SMCT version have a 58mm filter, so I didnt mention it.
Yes, the SMCP(k) 135mm F2.5 is the same as the second version of the SMCT optically, but I doubt it is as good mechanically, but close. Both the 2nd SMCT and the SMCP are very high performance but fall short of an IF design for better closeups. I wouldn't recommend putting them on an extension tube, it would probably better to buy a 58mm close up lens if needed. Anyone know of a webstore that sells high quality closeup lenses at good prices? What are the best brands? Are they all single element designs or are some doublets? I want to buy a 67mm size +1 closeup lens for my 200mm F4 SMCT for P6X7 to use for portraits.
