For some lenses, yes, for others, no.

FYI, the "optical formulas" presented on Boz's site are interesting and give
some insight into the lens's design, but they are not complete optical
formulas. Lens element and group configurations can be identical, but
designs may still be significantly different due to different glass formulas
surface figures.

> Is it safe to say that the late SMC Takumar lens formulas became the early
SMC Pentax or "K" lenses? I've been looking around trying to find out and
have seen a few references, but not for every lens. Boz's site has the "K"
optical formulas, but I haven't seen a similar site showing the late SMC
Takumars.  Any help would be appreciated.
