From sellers description and according to Bojidar Dimitrovs' Site
it's a non-SMC Takumar 135/2.5 (Bayonet)
http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/lenses/primes/_non-SMC/tak_135f2.5.html
Because of that, the lens description was hided by seller.
The price is OK, but not that cheap.
Cheers

Hi Atilla, hi Jigt!
First of all, sorry I didn't want to badmouth something.
Atilla, your lenses are both M42 screwmounts,
and are known to be good performer.
But the Takumar(PK-bayonet), we are talking about
were the uncoated cheap lens-line, Pentax came out with after 1975.
These should be avoided, because they perform miserably -
compared to every SMC or non-SMC screwmount Pentax lens.
The only thing they share, is just the name "Takumar".
Here's a interesting Thread about non-SMC Takumars(bayonet)
http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00CLSc
Jigt, at stansphotography, most users advise against buying that lens.
Cheers
Hasan |

Anyway, he got the lens for under € 15,-.
Even if the lens was not that good, it wouldn't be too bad, would it?
Try it, maybe it's better than many think. If not, sell it again, I believe that you won't lose money...

I cant lose much with my 15 euro risk.
I have read the reviews at stan's page and others on the net.
Special on this lens is that she is quitte soft wide open and becomming rather sharp at 5.6. I see this lens more in the sence as a portrait lens and I think its build for that.
I have bought several lenses and had them sold again after some test.
One thing I learned about reviews that there is nothing more important then your own experience.
Let the (my) results decide.

Hasan, don't worry!
I guess all kind of information, even if it is not that nice for an owner of a lens, is welcome here.
Some of us just follow the idea that not only buying excellent (and well tested) lenses is fun, especially if you can get a decent lens for a good price.
Furthermore, meanwhile I have realised that I sometimes like lenses very much which others (even the majority) thinks are crap.
I just like the lens' "personality". So the best test for you is done by yourself.
Still, please do not hesitate to provide information. That's what we all are here for!

hasan, thanks for your information on this lens. I admit I was confused by the title of this thread. I'd never heard of any "non-SMC" Takumar lenses and you cleared this up for me. [edit: I now see the SMC in the thread title has been removed ]
The old "Auto Takumar" and "Super Takumar" lenses obviously don't have SMC in their name because multi-coating hadn't been invented. The first multi-coated lenses were called "Super-Multi-Coated Takumar" (abbreviated to S-M-C) and then when the bayonet K-mount was released the lenses became "smc Pentax", in lower case and dropping the Takumar name. |

two K versions of this lens. one smc,58mm filter is an outstanding lens. this one takes a 52mm filter and is non-smc. i had one for awhile but really didn't need another paper weight. the reason it's cheap is because it is. i found it to be unacceptable until stopped down to a point that it defeated the reason for having it. it's fast speed. i've been a pentax fan for over 30 years and why they ever offered this lens is beyond me.
hope your copy is better than mine. _________________ Roy

I had this lens myself (years ago before dslr hit the market).
I have the K 2.5/135 SMC too and on film-slr the difference was obvious.
Then I found (somewehere in the internet.....) a guy who proved that on dslr the difference isn't that big anymore (god only knows why....):
His pics proved his writing.
On my Pentax DS the K 2.5 isn't that good anymore as with film-slr.
I just don't use it outside or for big distances anymore now but only as a portrait-lens. The bokeh is quite nice....
As for the lens that was bought:
Still really good build quality, built-in lens hood (not like the K 2.5 SMC-Version...), light-weight (you carry a light-weight lens much more often than a heavy one - don't you?).
I really liked the lens! _________________ Paul

The lens arived today,
Good condition at firts look, but the diafragma does not move or moves to slow. There is oil on the blades. I mailed the seller and see what happens.
I made a test shot wide open. Normal things like levels and light USM after resizing.
