Impressive differences! The one on the left is essentially dead! One is so used to seeing reflections, the one on the left looks fake! <g>

Those who own the SMCP 135/2.5: Is flare resistance in the K version better? Is focus travel as long?
You know, I can't really say too much about the flare resistance of the K 135/2.5 - I've used it as an "indoor informal portrait lens" almost exclusively, so I've never really put it to any serious flare test much.
I do know that it seems to be better than the Takumar Bayonet 135/"2.5" - look at the comparative difference in reflections (or lack thereof at http://www.cetussoft.com/pentax/135's/135252.jpg .
The focus travel (or throw) does seem to be rather long - it's basically a rather old-fashioned lens - <g>. For what I use it for (an "indoor informal portrait lens"), this is not a problem at all.
