I am thinking of acquiring some older M42 prime lenses to use on my K20D. I
seem to remember that the Super Takumars were considered a step back in quality
and optics from the Takumars. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Have not
decided which lengths to focus on, prob just on what is
Frankly, I would not worry much about the slight differences between
them. They are all superb fun. If you find one reasonably priced BUY
IT.
Take for example the 50mm f1.4. I learned on this list just a few days
ago that there are two versions of the Super Takumar, an earlier 8

Often Super Taks were identical optical formulas to the SMC Taks that
replaced them. The SMC Taks only having improved coatings with improved
flare resistance.

The Super Takumars are generally a step up in quality over the older
Takumars and Auto Takumars, and the SMC Takumars are generally either
the same as the Supers with better coatings or another step up.
That said, anything older than a Super Takumar is going to be relatively rare.
