I have one which someone will have to prise from my cold dead fingers when I'm gone, but that doesn't help you very much. K.

Thanks to Flickr's 'upgrade' I cannot see the images, just swirling balls. Oh well...I've uploaded full-sized images from every lens at f/1.2 and f/4, to accompany those already available, shot at f/2. This should help those who want to make a more detailed examination.

Somewhat belated update. Thanks to John's generousity I rewound the film then retrieved the film leader with his kindly donated gizmo. Now to load the roll into something better and finish the film.
Many thanks everybody, and especially John. Ektar100 is too expensive to waste.

The lens on the Lubitel 2 is much better than the later models. Mine is suprisingly sharp. If you look in my Ipernity photosteam (http://www.ipernity.com/doc/288579/album) you'll see a number of albums of Lubitel images. There is a certain element of hit or miss when it comes to focus and framing but I am very fond of mine, although just lately it has been surplanted by an Agfa Isolette 2. The latter was very expensive (£12.50) compared to the Lubi (£0.00). Have fun with it, I do with mine.

The K30 isn't common and commands a good price. One day I'll snag one. K.

I've been fond of K series lenses for a while and have, errrm, a few from 15mm to 300mm. There is always one more I'd like though... for example the 200/2.5 (the 200/4 is a bit average) or the 30mm... I mainly use them on my film bodies though, largely because I hardly use my dSLR at the moment.
Why? Dunno really except that I like them, nice and solid feeling and excellent quality images.

Standard K mount, no adaptors needed. Pentax used Takumar for their budget non-SMC lenses once they stopped making M42 lenses. K.TAKUMAR (BAYONET) 135/2.5 excuse my ignorance ,but what type of mount is this ,i'm assuming there are no adapters required for this lens ?

I have the 28 and the 135. The 85 is harder to find and pricey. K.
