Hi Frank,
 I have Super-Takumar with the curse too, I`m not going to use a sledge-
hammer on it though, I`m saving it as a parts lens. It is so yellow, see

 I metered with the yellow one and a non-yellow one and the match needle
was almost (I mean almost) in the same spot. Can you tell it`s a rainy day
today?
