A few years later (May 1979), when Pop Photography declared that the
all-time low for flare now belongs to the Pentax 40mm f/2.8 lens. I used
to use Olympus Zuiko lenses, and I can attest from personal experience
that Pentax lenses have much less flair and more contrast.

It's interesting that some of the Takumars outperformed some of the
Takumar SMCs, (although in the smae lens design, the SMCs seem to have
done at least a bit better). In any case, this information demonstrates
what tremendous bargains some of the old super taks are. It's also
interesting that of all the taks, the SMC 150/4 (which the list has
generally relegated to bow-wow status), was the worst of the tested
Pentax lenses.

  Old, but very interesting information.  Guess which lens had
 the least
  flare?

 Probably the Takumar 50mm f/1.4
