Not super rare, but still pretty rare, I would say. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Does your information state when they began putting the red "T" on the lens?
Do you have any serial numbers to go with that info?

Thanks for the reply. I missed that this thread was referring to Practina mount. Mine is m42 and from around '57, I think. _________________ DSLR: Pentax K-3 II, D-BG5 grip, SLR: Pentax SP500, Pentax SP, Pentax SP II, Pentax Spotmatic F, MX, ME-Super, Super Program, pZ-1
