Don't know. Where did you hear that? What sort of problem?
I've used this on K as well as M bodies, without problems of any kind!

This is one of the Pentax manual focus lenses. I'm hoping it might be a cheap, but still useable option for my *istDS.

It's not SMC.  It's not as good as the A* 135/1.8 or the K 135/2.5.  But,
if you don't have to pay too much for it, it can be a decent-enuf 135
(200mm "effective FL" on the D/DS/DL).  (I think it's really an f/2.8 lens,
but I won't quibble too much here...)

Excuse me?
The lens says "Super-Multi-Coated Takumar."
what do you mean "It's not SMC"?
You, of all people, ought to know that it *IS* SMC.
