I've just come across one of these, never heard of it before and can't seem to find anything on the net about it. Does anyone know anything about this lens? it also seems to protrude into the camera a lot, and I'm wondering if it will interfere with the mirror?

I have the non AF version of this lens, wouldn't sell mine either...I like the idea of an AF version, but I'm also after an FA 20mm.

Takumar f3.5 preset 200mm- unfortunately taken through sandy haze. I will see if I can get a better shot. Great lens though.

100% crop

Why not give the winner of this comp (and therefore the judge of 300) a free years Pentax User Plus membership as an incentive to try and win this prestigious job?

It won't cost anything and might entice more entries.

I bought a Takumar 200m f3.5 preset lens from a forum member recently, I'll see if I can get some shots with it today.

Seriously consider this lens. link

Best regards

That certainly does look like a very good lens, a bit expensive though. Quite large too. I'm building up quite a collection of old primes, so the 30mm f2.8 looked interesting, though the price they are fetching means it doesn't quite fit the "Poor man's 31mm Ltd" moniker Dr Orloff gave it....one is on ebay now BIN for $600! A lot of money for K lens. 30mm does look like a very nice focal length though.

I always tell my wife, though sometimes after the fact....

That makes sense, John, but I've only got two M42 lenses. I'd prefer to convert my lenses to K mount rather than convert my camera to M42.

I've tried them both on my two M42 lenses, David, and can't get them to work without the spring clip. Both of mine don't lock into the mount without the spring clip, and the non-Pentax one seems quite a loose fit, the lens wobbles around.
