I have both versions (35/2 and 35/3.5) and on FF camera little f3,5 is great lens. It works a lot better than Tak 35/2. Takumar 35/2 (I have Super Tak 35/2 with 49mm filter) has a lot more CA and softer borders at any settings. I could be that my copy is not great, but I am not satisfied with that lens. On crop camera (pentax K20d) the difference is not that big and two lenses are equal with speed advantage of 35/2.

Holy mother of beautiful pictures, 3D, bokeh and awesomeness...
That's one of the best photographs I've ever seen. |

My 35/3.5 would turn that image into a flat lifeless snapshot. |

Thanks for comments!
I use S-M-C Tak 35/3,5 for street photos and usualy wide open. Wide open is already sharp enough for street shots. At f5,6 is very sharp from corner to corner (FF corners). If I need more speed I use Tokina 35/2 which is very good at f2-2,8. So my Takumar 35/2 is waiting for better times.

The locks are superlative. I can understand you not liking the bokeh- its a personal taste thing -its not my favorite bokeh either.

The locks are amazing "dfujevec" , crisp ,lovely colors- whats the story on the locks?

Heres some in that range -taken wide open -fresh from the factory .
Yes I have the SMC 3.5 version-which is excellent as you can tell from "dfujevec"'s example
Here are some from my SMC Takumar 3.5/35 taken last year; I find the lens very sharp even wide open and very nice for landscapes.
Cheers

The story is that couples want to lock their love forever.
I must admit that Super Takumar 35/2 was one of disappointments when I put him on FF camera. On other hand Takumar 35/3,5 was a suprise. On Pentax K20d that difference was not so evident.

great picture!
I use on Pentax APS-C and the 2/35 ( S-M-C ) doesn't impress me, tough it's ok. It has the obvious speed and shallow dof advantage, but it hasn't the wow factor of the little f3.5 ( Super Tak )
have not used them much both, not use 35mm lenses much, and an Auto Tak f3.5 has stolen the attention, sharp as hell as well and with these weird, stunning colors

I really must start using my Super Tak 3.5/35. I think it's been in my collection for over a year now and has never been put to a camera. Sacrilege, I know.
There is a post on the Pentax Forums discussing the difference between the single/early transitional multi-coatings and the true S-M-C lenses: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/48870-super-takumar-vs-super-multi-coated-takumar-coatings.html
To summarize very quickly, the Takumar 3.5/35mm is one of the best in term of flare resistance. And the S-M-C makes only a minor, 0.11% difference, in this regard (from 0.73% to 0.62%).
Looks to be a very solid performer! |

I have the pentax K35/2, newer, one of the best.
35mm in crop sensor at f2 can produce full figure portraits with blurred background.
28 too, but i have to stay closer to subject.
Nice pics you have.

won't compete with a good 50 on FF, it's a 35mm, and can't do anything about faulty focusing and high ISO noise
