Re: SMC Pentax M135/3.5 vs SMC Pentac K135/3.5
Sorry, I though I was clear, the Both are good, the K is better. If they were the same price and I could have only one I'd get the K version if I wanted superior imaging the M if I needed something compact. I selected superior imaging.

PJA It's also a bit more difficult to find but few PJA know just how good it is, it was a bargain lens when it was PJA introduced, so you might pick one up inexpensively. PJA I have a copy of PJA the K version that I almost never use since I picked up the K 135 f2.5. I'm little a bit confused about all answers. So, whcih one produces better picture? If both of the version 'M' and 'K' will have the same price, which one You'll buy? Thanks. -- A man's only as old as the woman he feels. --Groucho Marx

Unless prices have risen, you can pick them up when they occur on ebay for 30-40 GB. Which is why I never sold mine. Don't listen to me, I am a K-bigot, Kostas

Can somebody tell the difference between those two lenses? I'm interesting in quality of the pictures from them. As I can see from Bojidar's site K version is little a bit heavier and longer then M version. I'm interesting in the picture difference of those lenses. I don't know about the K, but M135/3.5 is a very sharp lens from wide open, light-fall-off free too. The only con is 1.5m closest focus, 1.2m would be much nicer.
