I still don't quite have the lens history worked out, so let me ask opinions about the lens that came with my pawn shop K1000. It's "SMC PENTAX-M 1:2 50mm", according to the printing on the front. Is this one of the good ones, or one of the cheap ones? It's SMC, but it's not a Takumar 50/1.4.In shots I've taken with this lens there always seems to be some fuzziness in the fine details, even when I've used slow film, tripod and cable release, and tried to ensure the depth of field was larger than any possible imperfections in focus. So I started to wonder if that's just what photos looks like when you use a cheap lens, or if I'm still doing something wrong. I keep a Tiffen Haze 1 filter on it, mainly to protect the front element. The filter doesn't look purple, so I don't know how coated it is.
