I'd say buy it, but make sure it's cheap. One thing unique about
the K 55mm lenses is, that on K bodies, you can keep your off-eyepiece
eye open, and both eyes appear to be looking at the same view.
That trick doesn't work quite as well with, say, an MX and an M50mm,
at least not in my experience.

The general consensus, and I agree with it, is that this is one
of the worst Pentax 135s in both contrast and sharpness.
Much better is the M 135/3.5, a very sweet lens.
Even better is the SMC K 135/2.5 (NOT Takumar), I'm still
looking for one of these myself.
I sold my 135/2.8 A, it was very poor.

Hi Peter,
AdAware (Lavasoft) is OK, but it's not, in and of itself, the best, but,
perhaps, the most popular. As suggested by others, it's probably best to
run a couple-three programs since they each have different strengths.

The two lenses are supposedly identical in regard to optics, although
the M42 has a larger filter ring. In any case, the K is at least the
equal of the screwmount. They turn up on ebay from time to time for
