Ok so I wasn't looking for this lens. It was in a camera bag with a Spotmatic SP100 and an SMC Tak 50/1.4 that I picked up for $40. So I threw it on my little Pentax Kx just to see what to expect. Needless to say I am both surprised and pleased. A good deal of my older non multicoated lenses suffer in the contrast department, Not so with this little oddity.
These shots are all wide open. The first two are jpg's from the camera. The first shot was adjusted in levels only to brighten it very slightly. No curves or sharpening because I wanted to show what the contrast is like with the camera settings zeroed out. The second shot is straight from camera again settings zeroed out.
The final shot has been sharpened very heavily( well at least heavily for my taste) Just to show that images with this lens will stand up to some aggressive sharpening.
Obviously these are both backlit shots without much contrast loss or any noticeable flair. This was my biggest suprise along with the fact that I quite like this focul length on the crop sensor dslr. I am hoping I like it on my film cameras too.

I suppose this amount of contrast is a relative thing for me. I don't have another 150mm lens to compare it to but comparing it to any of my old single coated 135mm lenses ( Meyer, Isco, Sears.....) Shooting into the light like this would bring quite different results.

It has the typical rendering of a portrait lens. Smooth colors, medium contrast.
Something long focal distance, too much far from the subject?
Why 150 mm? Pentax said anything about this?
Anyway, nice lens.

You are quite likely correct about it being shaky. I don't often use anything over 105mm handheld. It's hard for me to determine if a lens has qualities I like on film unless I see shots posted without a great deal of post processing work .

I don't believe I have ever read anything that would explain this focul length, And I've never seen another 150mm. It would work as a portrait lens on film for me but it's pretty tight on my dslr.
One other thing I like about this lens is that it is smaller than most of my 135mm lenses. actually it's about the size of my Spiratone 105mm.

I can't recall another 150mm for 35mm slrs. It was never a good seller - I recall having a new one in stock for almost three years! We eventually sold it by putting it in the secondhand section and pricing it just below a new 135mm Super Takumat . . .
Somebody at Asahi must have a good reason for creating it, but it seemed to me to combine the "weaker" points of both the 135 and 200 lenses without giving anything that was distinctive or significantly better than either of them.

The two teles more sold were the 135 and the 200, almost sure. Perhaps the idea that the point between (150 mm lens) should be a good business.
And with the 50 mm lens, the 150 should complete an amateur kit (with a wide angle). I think that Pentax had think anythig like that.
But the theory is only that, the reality win.

Rino - yes, that theory would indeed make sense taking into account that Pentax owners got a 55mm as standard and usually bought a 35mm as their first wideangle in the mid to late 1960s. The "logical outfit" could have been sold as 35 - 55 - 150mm. But I think the 150 was more expensive than the 135 and all the textbooks banged on about the 135 being the "normal" telephoto. As you say, the reality will always win.

The 120 may be the option when you have the 50 mm and the 135 should be so longer for you. Between the 100 and the 135, the 120 had found his own place. One more toime, the theory is only that.

The first photo shows very promising detail wide open. What about a few photos slightly stopped down?
The third photo has horrible sharpening halos, I don't think it proves anything except that too much sharpening ruins images  .

Thank you everyone for your comments and replies !
I've reread my post and see that I didn't mention that the third shot is just an over sharpened version of the second shot. Sorry for omitting that info.
I was unaware that there was an M version of this lens as well. If it is smaller than the Tak it's pretty compact indeed. I too have sought the SMC M 120 but haven't had much luck.
Orio,
I agree totally with you on the ability of over sharpening ruining an image I will try to take some photos with this lens stopped down a bit, If I can catch some Shots between rain showers I am also hoping to get some images with this lens on my Pentax MX or H3v and will post some results of this lens on film. I am hoping that it will perform pretty well
Thank you folks again.
Eric

Because I have quite a few different tele Takumars at home I can write a bit more about 150mm and why it is different from the rest. Takumar 120 mm is primarily intended for portrait photography. It works best up to 10m, at the infinite is not one of the best lenses. Wide open it has very nice bokeh. 135mm lenses are a kind of compromise, they are good all-round lenses. Takumar 150mm is more telephoto lens for objects that are close to infinte. In that range it is more sharp than 120mm and 135mm lenses, but it doesn't have plesant bokeh and has a lot of longitudinal CA.

Nice results, shows the strength of the SMC coating. Last one is wonderful.
I'd call that bokeh very pleasant, not unusual for a longer lens.

The last three are very nice shots especially as mentioned the last one. Thanks for sharing.
Seems you got a really good deal on a very good older lens, congrats! |

I've come to really like this lens . There may be some truth to the supposition that the late Super Taks may have had the early S-M-C coatings. Whichever it is this Super Tak has very good coatings compared to other lenses of this vintage that I use.

Found this one at the markets in a bag of old lenses - all covered in dust.
This one was full of fungus - every element had spidery veins.
I had it cleaned and it is now rather good.
Here are some quick samples with image crops following.
I know - not flowers again!
Both taken wide open @f4
My standard PP from RAW in LR5 but no sharpening.

which reminds me that there is also the Kinoptik 150\2,8. The interchangeable mount version and the "auto aperture" version.

I concur with what has been said about the 150mm
I fell into it too because of its strange focal length. Small, light, I suppose that's Pentax to a Tea. Optically it's not an odd focal length by any stretch, just non-popular I suppose. I too confess to not having had a discrete reason where 150 was better then 138, or 200mm yet 
But The Grand Prix is coming up, maybe it will make it into my bag.
actually where is the silly thing...
That's a 105 f2.8, 150 f4 and the 138 f3.5
And actually I only notice now the 138 actually has a smaller cap on the bottom So yes. its a small dam thing.
