It's interesting that some of the Takumars outperformed some of the Takumar SMCs, (although in the smae lens design, the SMCs seem to have done at least a bit better). In any case, this information demonstrates what tremendous bargains some of the old super taks are. It's also interesting that of all the taks, the SMC 150/4 (which the list has generally relegated to bow-wow status), was the worst of the tested Pentax lenses. Paul
