I purchased this lens for portrait photos from my vintage Pentax K-1000. I am well pleased with the condition of the lens and the quality of the prints made using this lens.

Pentax is the only brand that gives value to all range of lens ever made by factory. I really love this, cause I can test and use lens from other industrial conception! Strong materials, real cristal lenses, manual focus average working in new digital photography world. For me it's priceless... This lens shows excellent "bouque", smooth focus and in a APC-S DSLR Pentax cameras, 135mm becames around 200mm. Marvelous portraits can be made with this lens!
Marvelous fun can be had if you're willing to deal with the idiosyncrasies of a manual focus prime from the past. The bokeh is really nice and dreamy, and the lens can be quite sharp. I enjoyed this lens very much and gave it to a friend as I purchased the SMC version from B&H, which has a bit less green/purple fringing increased sharpness due to the coatings. However, this is a great piece of equipment. Highly recommended.
I have used this lens during a photo safari trip in Tanzania. This is one of the best manual prime lenses with a Pentax bayonet mount. The lens is sharp and fast. I have gotten good photos of wildlife even with a 2x teleconverter in low-light conditions. Since the lens does not have optical coating it tends to be more vulnerable to reflections and refractions. A filter or hood could easily solve the problem. I have noticed that some interesting color effects could be obtained with this lens in cloudy or low-light conditions that I have not seen using coated lenses.
Received as advertised, good decent lens.

Great pics mid range with lens, i like, clear lens, fast pics. The only downside is that because it is a fixed lens needs to be replaced by other lenses in order to meet a ride all kinds of photos. Recommend buying this pentax, photos of great quality. I'm using on a Sony nex C3 with adapter, works perfectly.
I like this lens because it is Pantex Takumar lens. It's favorited lens in the past. For my openion this len is save cost compare with performance. It's very good lens. The picture is sharp with start F2.5. Althought This lens was not MC. I have like it.
It has a very good review but never had a time yet for further evaluation. I had some few shots inside the house and seemed descent with the image quality. Good lens and cheap price...............
This lens has great optics for the price and a great open aperture. It's not THE best, but for $50-75 it has a huge value and will beat ANY kit lens.
Good sharp fast lens,at a low price.What's better! Great portrait lens for a Pentax camera.Auto-focus or manual focus.It does not really matter.
