Check http://stans-photography.info/ for a collection of PDML members' opinions about Pentax lenses. It is badly out of date, does not contain any info about the FA-J or DA lenses. But it does have quite complete coverage for earlier lenses. What motivated me to start in the first place was the huge variety of lenses, and huge reported variation in quality, in Pentax K and M 135mm. I couldn't track all of the comments and so started gathering them into a Word file, to be studied at my leisure... That helped guide my first 135mm purchase. BTW, the Takumar 135/2.5 has received consistent marks as the poorest of the bunch. Having said that, even a "bad" Pentax lens is quite usable under proper conditions.
