====================================================
Aside from being sharp lenses, I always thought that, physically, the
Super-Takumars were the most elegantly styled lenses around.  I liked
the type of knurling on the focus rings, and the way that the focusing
scales
were enclosed in a metal shroud, with that small window on top to show the
numbers. All other brands didn't bother with such tidyness. I only have a
couple of Takumars now; I gave my late brother most of my Pentax gear
when I switched to Olympus in 1982 (I needed to upgrade to bayonet mount
lenses, and three of my friends used OM's, so we could share).
