Not quite following you on the ratios... I've long thought that 1:1
means the image on the sensor is the same size as in real life, 2:1
means 2x lifesized. Did the Macro Takumar achieve greater magnification
that say, the DFA 50mm macro (which Pentax specs as a 1:1 lens)?

Reading about it, it is also funny how many people think that 1:2 is
the same as 2:1. Pentax made only one macro lens that does 1:1 and
that was the old preset Macro-Takumar. The rest are all 1:2. This lens
(at 2:1) is 4x that.
The number of aperture blades (and round aperture) should make for lovely bokeh.

I recall reading about that lens here on the PDML a few weeks ago. It is
indeed tempting.

I saw that a new ACR was released and scanned the new lenses supported
looking for Pentax:

It was there I saw a lens I hadn't heard of:

Quite the specs. Here are a couple of early impressions of it:

Color me impressed.
