ASAHI PENTAX SUPER TAKUMAR 135MM F3.5 M42 MOUNT

I received the Asaha Pentax Takumar 135 f3.5 this afternoon from aHitomi Misu all the way from Japan. A clean, perfectly working unit as per description. I was very pleasantly surprised by the size of the lens and immediately set it up on the Sony A7S and took it out in the garden for a quick test run. Here are some of the images and a short video on Youtube.

As of this writing I have several versions of the Pentax 135mm:
1. Asahi SMC Pentax 135mm f2.5 (6 groups in 6 elements) K mount
2. Asahi Pentax Super Takumar 135mm f3.5 ... this lens in M42mount
3. Asahi SMC Pentax 135mm f3.5 K mount
4. Asahi Pentax Super Takumar 135mm f2.5 (6 groups in 6 elements) M42 mount.

I hope I don't go get more ... the first f2.5 do have a bit of fungus at the far edges of its front element!
