I just looked it up Takumar on that totally reliable Wikipedia. :)
Pentax resurrected the Takumar name in the 1980s and 1990s. Sadly, give the name's history, it referred to a budget line of zoom and prime lenses that lacked the Pentax "Super Multi-Coating", an optical treatment that reduces lens flare. These lenses are marked "Takumar (Bayonet)" to distinguish them from the older screw-mount Takumar lenses.
