Here's my collection of Super-Multi-Coated Takumars for my Spotmatic SPII (and date from around 1971).
In my opinion, the Super-Multi-Coated Takumars are the best takumars to get as they have the best coatings and most up-to-date optical formulae
Left to right they are:
* 28mm f/3.5
* 85mm f/1.8
* 135mm f/3.5
* 35mm f/2
* 50mm f/1.4
* 35mm f/3.5

Agreed. 60 years have passed and they're still the coolest looking things in the bag.
Now compare them to the blunder years FA series lenses!

I once saw them described as "little jewels" - which seems very appropriate 
Mine are almost 50 years old, but still the focus is buttery smooth...
