No problem. You're not the only one on this list who uses Pentax lenses on a Canon body. Scurrilous behavior to be sure, but tolerated here <vbg>. In any case, you're going to want the Super Multi Coated Takumar 85/1.8. It's a magnificent M42 lens, one of the best ever built. (In general, you'll find that the Super Multi Coated M42s will give better contrast and superb flare resistance than the Super Takumars or Auto Takumars. The later version of the Super Multi Coated Takumar 135/2.5 is another superb lens. Ditto the SMC 105/2.8 and 120/2.8. The 85 is the most expensive of these at a used price that is usually aroun $250 to $300. That 35/3.5 you already own gets rave reviews as does the 50/1.4.
