Don, I think you'll be satisfied with the lens. The Super-Multi-Coated Taks have a generally well deserved good reputation, and, iirc, some time ago there was a discussion here about various 135mm Pentax lenses. A few people commented that there's never been a "bad" Pentax 135. Of course, I can't speak to that, but I do recall when the Super-Multi-Coated Taks hit the market - around 1968-69 or so? - and the great comments the lenses received.
It's interesting to note, based on tests and photos we've seen here recently, as well as a few comments, how well these older lenses compare with many of the newer autofocus lenses. Now, go take, or make, some photographs and let us know what YOU think of the lens.
