Man I'm having a very bad memory day. Of course they have that switch. I always have these lenses on manual so I forgot it was there. Thanks for the great explanation and the warning. I'm using the k&f concept adapters. I don't think they do that.

Hi Steve, point taken. :-) I'm new to this. Always shot with AF lenses till a couple of weeks ago. I fell in love with the look and feel of these beauties. So I went to a photographers fair and bought a couple (to much) of Pentax and Takumar lenses. Now I realise that I overdid it and what to narrow it down. I always have valuated the opinion of people with more knowledge than myself.
The smc Tak doesn't have the A/M switch but if it did how would that have been useful with my Fuji?
Thanks
Dirk

The smc Tak was the last one I bought and it looks like it has never been used. If it has the same image quality than the other 2 I would keep this one. It's stunningly beautiful.

Thanks Papa_Joe for the detailed feedback.
I rarely use the spotmatic. So if you had to choose one for my x-t3 which one would it be? Thanks again.

Part two of my inquiries :-)
If you had to keep only one 135mm lens which one would it be.
I have the:
smc pentax-m 3.5 135mm
Takumar (Boyonet) 2.5 135mm
smc Takumar 3.5 135mm?
I can't keep them all.
Which one would you keep?
Thanks for the help.
Dirk
PS: I'm using them on an x-t3 body and I do many landscape, portret and architectural photography.

Thanks everyone for this overwhelming and useful feedback. I can't keep them all. Just as Monochrome I need dental work and don't want to keep lenses I don't use.
So I've decided to keep the 50 1:7 and sell the other two. I have a similar question about 135mm once. Will make a new topic about that.

Because I don't want to be greedy. And I do need to feed my kids. :-)
No seriously. Which one would you keep?

Hi guys
If you had to keep only one 50mm lens which one would it be.
I have the:
smc pentax-m 1.4 50mm, smc pentax-m 1.7 50mm and the smc Takumar f2 55mm.
I can't keep them all and don't see any reason to.
Which one would you keep?
Thanks for the help.

Then it has travelled a long way. I'm living in Belgium. :-) I will hang on to it. Can't wait to use it. Need to find a battery for it and a lens hood. Would like to have a metal square one. Thanks for replying.

Hi guys
Thank you for accepting me on this forum. Last week I stumbled onto a Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SPII with the 1:2/55 smc Takumar lens attached to it. I read a lot about the Takumar line.
So excited about the looks of this camera and the prospect of using it. Does anybody know how old this camera could be according to the serialnumbers. Body: 5421434 and Lens: 8078814?
Any links or info that you wanna share about this lens and camera? I ordered an adaptor for the lens so I can try to use it on my fuji x-t3.
Thanks
Dirk
