Hey, Adam.

I don't see a place to enter the price for the lens.

Also, it might be misleading to lump the Takumar, Auto-Takumar, Super-Takumar, and Super-Multi-Coated Takumar lenses all together. I know for certain that there were significant improvements in between versions of many Takumar lenses, including a totally different optical design as well as improved coatings. So, if I go in and give a '5' to my Super-Takumar 50/1.4 but give a '9' to my SMC Takumar 50/1.4 under the same heading it isn't an accurate average for either lens!
