Well, there have been a screwmount Super Takumar 135/2.5, a Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 135/2.5, and a K-mount Takumar Bayonet 135/2.5. Which one it is is not clear from the "135mm f2.5 Pentax Takumar" caption. Since the body was a K1000, it could have been one of the screwmounts on an M42-to-K adapter, but I personally think that the budget Takumar Bayonet on the budget K1000 would be more likely (and I do not mean to be disparaging by the use of the term "budget" here).
