Any idea how this compares with the S-M-C 200mm F4 Tak?

I don't know about optical quality, but it is a 67mm filter ring (so more expensive filters), the weight is bigger (200-300g more than 200/4) and the coating will be less efficient I think Wink

Not comparable, SMC is a very nice great lens , my 3.5 copy is crap. Some other member reported better result , but they are not in same league.

Will post samples, I just bought it. I guess it will be as good as Super Takumar 4/200 Cool

I will receive one in few days, complete with case, seems to be in VGC (paid less than 30 GBP P&P included), I'll compare it to the S-M-C 200/4 (or maybe the Super 200/4), and maybe to the 135mm's with x1.5 converter Very Happy

The pictures I saw on Pbase and Flickr of the 3.5 are very nice! But I decided to buy a SMC 200mm. Better coating and easier to handle.

Looking at the various samples I've seen of the 4/200, I would say I prefer Voytek's preset. That lens looks a winner.

I received mine today, complete with its caps (the rear one doesnt have Takumar written, but its the second preset Takumar I got with these very shallow caps, I suppose it's the caps of the preset ones, and the Auto have the shallower version of the Takumar ones), case and a hood wich could be the right one Smile Paid 32 EUR shipped, from UK Razz
