EDIT
==========
After further deliberation, I decided to go with the Takumar 200mm f3.5 because of the easier handling, which makes for better pictures for me. Am selling the Carl Zeiss Jena 200mm f2.8 Sonnar. I've deliberated listing on ebay (I almost did!), but I'd rather some fellow forum member here benefit from a lower price for this lens, then selling on ebay and subjecting myself to the final value fee (which can be quite hefty!). The final prices and details for the Zeiss is as below:

Item Description
Great optical condition, only blemish is a bubble in the front element in the glass (see picture 3), no effect on image quality. It will come with a pentax adaptor and I've drilled hole in the mount so that the locking pin on the pentax SLRs can fit and lock the lens in place. Of course, you can remove the adaptor and use it as an m42 or adapt to other mounts. Comes with front and rear caps (both M42 and k mount), adaptor, and vintage soft carrying case.
The rare Pentax SMC PF 77mm UV filter is worth a few words. Well built and solid, glass in impeccable condition, and treated with the famous Pentax SMC coating. A real collector's item - trying googling for it and see how common it is.
