Well, if it's sold as a Pentax lens it's a Pentax lens :) If it was made after Asahi changed its corporate name to Pentax (2-3 years ago) it's a Pentax lens no matter what's written on it. Before that I suppose it could accurately be called either a Takumar or an Asahi lens. >And, should M42 Takumar lenses be allowed in the Pentax Gallery > then or not? I expect they would allow it since they were made by Asahi and there were no lenses sold under the name Pentax back then. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
