Super-Multi-Coat Takumar 1:2.5/135 (Bit Loose, can hear it click when you shift the dial up and down, but PERFECT glass, super contrasty), wear on paint, no fungus or dust/oil on blades.
And
Super-Takumar 1:2/55 in perfect condition, like new.
Just wondering, because I might be letting them go  |

Depending on what version, I or II, of 135/2.5 you have, it can be between around $80-100 for v.I to about $150 for a mint sample of v.II, adjust for lens condition. Here's how to ID them: http://www.aohc.it/tak04e.htm (part number is etched on the bottom of A/M switch).
Super-Tak 55/2 is currently undervalued, and often goes for peanuts. I got mine for $10, but it's common for a mint sample to fetch $25 on eBay. Considering its excellent optical qualities, I would keep this one.

I paid 35 euros for a SMC 55/2 in perfect condition, and I think Ebay prices are generally lower. |

Yes, v.I fails to impress. It lacks the usual Takumar sharpness and bokeh. I've heard that v.II, a different optical construction altogether, is way better in all respects. To make things more complicated, Pentax did the change completely silently, without changing lens' outside design or inscriptions. The only thing that makes it possible to ID v.I vs. v.II lenses is the number etched on the bottom of the A/M switch.
I have the v.I, and it's quite a basic lens compared to 135/3.5 or 150/4.
