If so, it's a "budget" 4 element design that gives a respectable performance on film. Don't know about on digital.
Worth £20 if it's in nice condition.
You have not looked on ebay recently: £40 - £50 is the going rate for the Takumar these days.Is it the Takumar (Bayonet) 135mm f2.5?

RR - interesting reasoning for switching brands. Surely some NR software would have been far cheaper than a whole system change. If you use RAW then you would be post processing anyway.
In any case, good luck with the switch and I hope it assists you in gettng what you need from photography.

I have 2 KX and 2 MXC bodies. They will be the film bodies to keep until film is no longer available.
KX: very solid, big, easy to use.
MX: very solid, small, easy to use (also better viewfinder).
The MX with 40/2.8 fits in a large pocket and could substitute for a Leica, it is that small and usable.

I think so.

II have the F4 version - it is very good, as is the SMC-F AF version, which is no bigger than a 50mm lens.

Well done. What else did they have? ; )

I would very much like to see the Samsung system first: an APS-C sensor and possibility of using a 40/2.8 pancake lens or even a 35/2 as "normal" lenses is quite enticing.

I was in my local camera shop yesterday for the first time ever and they had a selection of old lenses including a Pentax 135mm f1:2.5 k mount manual lens.
Are these any good and is the £20 asking price probably worth it?
I left a fiver on it and am going back to try it out but as I really don't have a clue what I'm on about any advice would be welcome.
