Minor correction on your terminology -

The Tak screw mount lenses I've seen don't have
rubber on the focusing ring. They look to be
of a scalloped metal design. So the externals,
at least, do vary from Tak to 1st K mount.
Takumars came with both the scalloped metal focusing ring, with a
matching scalloped aperture ring,
or a rubberized focusing and ribbed aperture ring. The change came with
the SMC designation. The

It is, indeed, the same fine design. Even better, most of the Taks came with
a tripod mount; none of the Ks had the mount.
Some collected comments
The Takumars are outstanding in their own right. But keep in mind that they
pre-date the advent of APO lenses, internal focusing, and other techniques
now commonly used to provide apochromatic correction on lenses above 200mm
and close focus.
Pentax never made a fast (f/2.8-class) screwmount
For prime lenses longer than 300, the Takumar 400/5.6 is OK but cannot
focus closer than 8 m.

Do think about it some...
You need open aperture only for critical focusing.
Once you get the focus, close it down for metering.
It's true that the long lenses lose a lot of light, and that makes

I've done that! But instead of using a screw to hold the adapter to the
lens I used lok-tite (spelling? whatever..) witch basically glued the
adapter to the lens. I think I even used the same technique for finding the
position of the slot. Instead of a dremel I hand drilled VERY carefully.

There is a way you can have a screw mount lens lock on
K-mount
bodies. It needs a little
machine shop job done on the adapter and the lens.
Could you expand on that please, Andre?
Thanks Andre. I think even I can acomplish this. I will try it
on something other than my new fisheye first though.

I was thinking... how do you make a hole that will take a screw with
a Dremel? Or will we have to bring the ring to a machinist?

I need to get a life, I am replying to myself.
That should read:
The spring clip that is supposed to affix the adaptor to the
body is held on with a screw.
Sorry, I nead a concept checker.

Gentlemen,
In addition to being a camera collector/amasser, I am a pistolsmith,
and have been for over 40 years.
The bane of my existence has been home-gunsmiths with Dremels!
You ought to have a journeyman's license to buy one!
They cut so fast, and so NOT where you want to cut, you need

drill and tap it of course.
Small taps are cheap and easy
to use.
