Honest question: Isn't that the same thing as saying "The K-mount era?" I ask because in my mind, the change from top quality Taks and budget Taks occurred when the switch was made to the K-mount. Then the SMC Pentax took over as top dog in the quality department, chronologically. Isn't that transformation when the Takumar name was resurrected? I'll welcome support or refutation... Right now that's how I've come to believe that history, and I'd rather know the truth than be 'right.' :-) I'll check van Oosten's book later, to see if he clears it up. keith whaley -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
