Wow! I have learned more about my lens in the last couple of days than I did in the last 30 years!
Thanks to everyone.

Just had a look, and it is the 43802 variant, any idea what the difference between the two numbers is?

One of my lenses I am trying for portraits in my re-commisioned Spotmatics is a 135 f2.5 Super Multi Coated TAKUMAR
I cant remember reading anything about this lens and how it is rated with regard to its performance, my example is unmarked, is it a rare beast?

My Spotmatics (II and F) have lain idle for a long time as I have been a Zoom 70 then a digital Olympus and Canon user for a number of years.
Anyway I stumbled across my old camera bag with my Spotmatic II and Spotmatic F bodies and 28/3.5, 55/1.8, 100 macro and 135/2.5 Takumar lenses, all bought by me new in the early 70's and absolutely unmarked (I had even taken the batteries out to avoid probs)
I had forgotten how good they all feel, so well made solid and smooth in use.
I am planning on putting them back in service, initially on our camera club model nights and carry out a direct comparison with my usual gear (Canon 40d with Canon100/2.8 Macro) - which I must say gives superb results.
Is it usual to have the film scanned (highest quality) by the processor so that they can be worked on on the computer? and how should I expect the results to compare with my normal gear?
