The F 70-210 is the best of all of them, a good copy will be sharp though out it's zoom range, a bad copy will be a little soft at 210mm until you stop down a bit, I've had both. The Takumar F 70-200 and a version of the Pentax F share the cosmetics of the SMC P F 70-210 but neither is up to even a /bad/ copy.

The F 70-200 is a Pentax F (Cheaper line without MC). There is no SMC Pentax F 70-200mm

There is also an SMC Pentax F 70-210 ED with good reviews and a Takumar F (cheap line without MC).

Seems the SMC and/or ED glass versions are superior.
