Welcome to the club. I have shot a few weddings with mine and the 105, 150 Super Takumar and 200 Pentax.

No, SMC means Super Multi Coated. It is a 7 layer anti reflection coating. Super Takumar was the first lens designation for the 6x7 lenses when the camera was first released. They are uncommon now.

I would avoid the 105 Super Takumar as it used Thorium glass and was slightly radioactive and caused a slight yellowing of elements. The 105 Takumar and later Pentax had the exact same design (Double Gauss) but no Thorium and are both fine performers.
