OK, Fred, that would explain why the Super-Tak draws raves but not the 50/1.4K. I wasn't aware that anything changed during the Tak period other than coatings and focusng rings.

It is my impression that, in the evolution of the Pentax 50/1.4 lenses, there were/are three basic designs: 1. The first Super-Tak. 2. The second Super-Tak, the S-M-C Tak, the SMC Tak, the SMC "K", and the M. 3. The A, the F, and the FA.
