Fred, The reason I ask is because the SMC Takumar 1:1.4/50 does suffer from the yellow curse. Since it is basically the same lens as the SMC Pentax (K) 1:1.4/50, the only difference being the mount, I assumed it might have the same problem. I have two copies of the Takumar, but I haven't seen a copy of the SMC Pentax (K) model.
