Takumar Super-Multi-Coated (SMC) 135mm f/2.5 Lens Review for DSLR Video

Review of the Takumar Super-Multi-Coated (SMC) 135mm f/2.5. In summary, it's really a fantastic telephoto prime if you're into video (and even photography, if you don't mind manual focusing). Great for budget shooters who need low-light capability at this focal length without paying $1,000+

List of other great Takumar lenses to consider: http://whitemetal.com/pentax/m42_to_EOS_adapter.htm (note that he indicates "Live View Only" if the lens interferes with the mirror on full-frame bodies - super helpful if you have a Mark II and are considering these Takumars!!! They all work fine on crop bodies, so if you have a t2i, t3i, t4i, 60d, 7d, you don't need to worry).
