ATTENTION 1: My english is realy bad...

My first post here... hope, you find it useful...

When I searched some info about my 3.5/135 Super-Takumar, I discovered that on Pentax camera instruction manuals are many old Pentax camera manuals and some of them contains Takumar lens specifications with corresponding optical formula.
I collected the data from different manuals and sorted them according focal length and speed.

ATTENTION 2: This is definitely not complete listing as you can see here
ATTENTION 3: I know, that the form is poor... so, when you feel, you need to whine about the form... please, sh...errr... be quiet and do it better! Cool

Thank you, very informative!

I'm missing only a few lenses there:

Super-Takumar 50/1.4 non-thoriated (old version with 8 elements)
Takumar 83/1.9
Super/S-M-C Macro Takumar 100/4
S-M-C Takumar 135/2.5 new version (6 elements)

Thanks again Smile

Maybe someone can supply the missing lenses to make this list complete.

Takumar 83/1.9 is first in "Short telephoto" list, however without picture of the lens alone.
