Aside from the obvious superiority of the coatings on the SMC Takumars, not all M42 lenses have an auto manual
switch, which will be necessary if you want to use the lenses at any aperture other than their maximum.

Good to know. Is there any reason to buy the Pentax over one of the other brands? Basically, is it ok to go cheap on this item?

They work just fine with the proper adapter, which Pentax and others make.

I saw the reply to my question about the use of Leica lenses. Do you have the same problem with the M42 lenses as well? I notice they are quite inexpensive these days and wouldn't mind adding a few if they would work correctly.
