Mine is labeled "Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 1:4/300", and does not have the tripod mount. Got it for a song, because there was a loose screw clinking around inside it, near the aperture mechanism, and had it completely overhauled by Pentax. Total cost, for a lens that now looks and feels absolutely brand new, was about $150. :-) At the time, I asked my Pentax service tech whether it was supposed to have a tripod mount, so that I'd know to look for a used one, but he said there never was one for this model. He may have been mistaken, of course -- but he's a collector himself, and very, very knowledgeable, so I tend to doubt it. Still, there is an area just behind the Auto/Manual selector ring, where a tripod mount collar might fit... I'll see if I can get some digital photos of the lens posted... -tih -- Puritanism -- the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
