Np contest. The M 135/3.5 is a far better lens: sharper, less flare, and better built.

Following a treat of breakfast at a wonderful little Ethiopian restaurant here, I stopped by Wings Camera, which sells mostly used stuff, a couple doors down. Went to the Pentax shelf to see what they had. First lens I picked up was a Takumar 135/2.5. Over the weekend a couple folks suggested the Pentax M 135/3.5 as a great, inexpensive option to consider for my trip to Northern Arizona.

They'll take $40 for the Takumar, but the Pentax is available from KEH, also right here in Atlanta, for $45 to $65. I'm wondering if anyone here's familiar with the Takumar and might have a sense of how it compares to the Pentax.

Thanks,
