Does anyone have any experience of either of these two lenses, are they any good, which has better IQ and around what price should they be.,

- SMC Takumar 300mm f/4,
- SMC Takumar 400mm f/5.6,
I know what i like, If not always why.

They are both high class lenses of their day, up amongst the best. Pentax have always been good lens makers.

Price-wise is tricky as the market seems to have stalled a bit, but both are usable and desirable lenses. eBay would set the price in an auction, the price being what someone will pay.
Best regards, John

I have been offered these at €150 each, will check out ebay to see how that compares.

I think that would be a good price if they were in mint condition.
Best regards, John
