Strengths:

Color and contrast

500g (but balances pretty well)

No Manual-Auto switch on my copy, so the pin does not allow changing aperture on digital body w/o modifications: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/10-pentax-slr-lens-discussion/308154-asahi-smc-takumar-135mm-2-5-m42.html   


Comments:

I've got an earlier SMC PENTAX 1:2.5/135 version (1975-1977) as opposed to smc PENTAX 1:2.5/135 (1977-1985). Both versions are considered the sharpest wide open 135mm lense ever made with excellent color reproduction. It surpasses Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 1:2.5 135mm (M42).
