I'm still new to Pentax gear... Yes, someone else on the DPReview forum pointed out that I had the designation wrong. It seems to be the original, bayonet mount with "Asahi Optical Co. Takumar (Bayonet) 1:2.5 135mm" on the bezel. Single coated, built in hood, 52mm filter mount. The only defect in my lens is that the built-in hood's felt is worn out, so I've fitted a nice old Nikkor metal HN-7 hood. It's a perfect fit. > Have you tried http://stans-photography.info/? Thanks, I've looked there. Seems to be a range of opinions, most of them reasonably positive about this lens and about the FA135/2.8 IF. I'm going to order the FA model, but I think I'll wait until after tomorrow morning's swap meet. Godfrey __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more.
