Do you know how to tell for sure JCO? The only specs I can find say the 5/4 is 444 grams and the 6/6 is 470 grams. All other specs are identical. Mine weighs in at 473 grams buck naked. Which is supposed to be the better of the 2?

there are no Kmount SMC takumars. All the Kmount takumars were budget single coated lenes. ALL SMC Takumar lenses are M42.
the question that needs asking is whether the 135mm F2.5 SMC Takumar he was using is the 5 element or the 6 element version?

Are you referring to the M42 or K-mount version of the SMCT 135/2.5?

Recieved and played with two lenses on the D today. (After thawing them out, brrrr! Winter just got here!)
SMCT 135/2.5 Superb all the way, not bad even at 2.5. By 5.6 one of the sharpest I've seen with very "natural" OOF areas. Large and heavy but very smooth and easy to work with.
