In spite of having amassed an enormous collection of lenses old and new I always have that nagging feeling of just needing ONE more lens. Because of you Mr Riley, I now realise that I need TWO more lenses as I don't have either of the above. You are a bad influence!
On a more positive note, I have to say that your equipment reviews are top notch. Doing these must consume an incredible amount of your time for which I don't think you receive the recognition you deserve so here is my public thank you.

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!

What can I say, but thanks!
I can see deepest Lancashire is a Black Hole where gravitational forces act on lenses, dragging them beyond the event horizon to somewhere safe...

I don't think I've ever come across an M 150/4 though I have owned the Takumar version for a short time (don't know if they have the same optics).
I would recommend the K 200/4 over the M or Takumar as it's optically better wide open.

I did actually mean the 150mm f/3.5, a slip of the brain cells!
Both lenses now souced, one review completed and in the works. Great support from PU members!
