Brad, look for the Pentax 50mm F4 or the 100 also F4 I believe.  The Super
Takumar nomenclature indicates multicoating.  Don't be afraid of the Russian
lenses either, the SLR lenses seem to be more consistent than the
rangefinder ones.

Another option is to acquire a bellows which opens up a whole new world of
macro.

With nobody much interested in screw mount prices are cheap, I paid $20 for
the 50mm macro.  Look locally at the big Wolf store as they have/had a
fairly large inventory of screw mount stuff.
