The Pentax Super Takumar 50/1.4 earlier series came with 8 elements a la
Summicron M 35/2 early series - this is the one to go for - it has a
radioactive element

Do you mean the Pentax Super Takumar 50/1.4? That was one of the very best 
f1.4 standard lenses at it's time, the early 60ies. Single coated, great for
b&w. 
Other great M42 portrait lenses to check out on a Olympus might be the Carl 
Zeiss Jena Pancolar 55/1.4 and Biotar 75/1.5, the Helios 40-2 85mm/1.5 and
the 
Takumar 83mm/1.9, just to mention a few. There's many good M42 glass out 
there...
