The K mount Takumars are the budget models, decent but not worth paying a lot for. Pentax really screwed up (is that a pun?) the legendary Takumar name with their idiotic marketing. In K mount you're better off with one of the SMC Pentaxes, they have the coatings and better optics.

I don't really have a personal, direct experience opinion on this, but some say the Taks are 'over corrected' so the bokeh isn't as smooth... for whatever that's worth. Maybe someone with direct experience can chime in.
