I like the 40-43 mm focal length on 16x24 mm format. Given the cameras
I'm currently using, I wish Pentax would build a few more Pentax-L

excellent lens, but it's not as sweet as the FA43 Limited.

Only on this list could a $950 lens (DA* 50-135/f2.8) even be brought
up when discussing the merits of a S-M-C Takumar 135mm f2.5 (v2). I
don't know what they go for normally, but I paid $75 for mine in MINT
condition with hood case. Clearly most of you live in a different
universe than I do.
Back to the SMC Tak 135/2.5. This screwmount lens was available in two
versions, One is better than the other. If I remember, they're not easily
distinguishable visibly, but the dimensions are slightly different, and I think
one has an additional stop marked on the DOF scale. You might find
Paul is correct.
The following is a Google translation of this page:
http://kajiwara.weebly.com/takumar-13525-v2-66.html
V2
This version differs from version 1 for six details:
- Weight 470g against 444g for version 1
- 35m by 30m to infinity against version 1
- The serial number is 43,812
