The SMC K28/3.5 lens is NOT the same formula as the excellent SMC Takumar. Altough many of the early K mount lenses were just re-mounts of earlier screwmount lenses, but in this case excellent wasnt good enough so Pentax put out a brand new optical designed lens with 8 elements instead of the old 7 element
version. the K28/3.5 has truly outstanding contrast and color saturaton as well as resolution.... -- J.C.
