The K mount Takumars are single coated bargain optics. They are
generally very prone to flare in general. This
particular lens has the reputation of being very soft, (which makes it a
fine optic for portraits however). You can
usually pick one up for a very reasonable price however. The SMC
Takumar (m42), and SMC Pentax (K) version
of this lens are outstanding but you'll pay a lot more for either of them.

I've heard this lens has some sort of problem. How bad is it? What
sort of problem?
This is one of the Pentax manual focus lenses. I'm hoping it might be
a cheap, but still useable option for my *istDS.
thanks,
Glen
