Hi! Again a new (old!!!) member

First: I'm not a Pentax specialist. I have, however, a few low-end Pentaxes with appropriate plastic objectives. Nowadays I must use lightweight gear.

Second: For historical reasons . since 1964 - I have old school M42 Asahi objectives (but not M42 bodies). I try to copy a list from an Excel sheet here: [modern science cannot explain the duplicates

]

Super-Takumar (M42) 24 1:3,5

Auto-Takumar (M42) 35 1:3,5

Super-Takumar (M42) 35-105 1:3,5

Super-Multi-Coated (M42) 50 1:1,4

Super-Takumar (M42) 55 1:1,8

Super-Takumar (M42) 55 1:1,8

Super-Takumar (M42) 105 1:2,8

Super-Takumar (M42) 135 1:3,5

Super-Takumar (M42) 135 1:3,5

Takumar (M42) 200 1:3,5

As you can guess I love old manual focus tubes [also several other brands].

You're in good company here - many of us appreciate the smooth action and long throw of yesteryear.
