It's like they think Takumar lenses shoot out death rays or something every time you take a picture.

You mean that time I photographed three Canon DSLR videographers under the light of a full moon and they howled and burst into flames was just a dream?

Old timers may remember these:

The Staticmaster Brush has a mildly radioactive polonium element.

I once used them in my darkroom in an effort to remove dust from negatives before printing.
They were pretty popular back in the day, but they are much more expensive now.

That is the Last Annoying Photographer video I'll ever watch. The criticisms I read in this thread were not to do with whether he's ever used a Takumar, but about his personality (not going to change), and his absurd alarmism over radioactivity.

"If they had quality like they had back in the 1960's... No, that quality is never going to come again, no never."

What a foolish thing to say. My K-3 is leagues better than anything from the 1960's.

Yeah, I’ve always had trouble watching his videos. Actually, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one all the way through...
