Pentax 6x7, 150mm lens?

[Chris Lange]

I just bought a Pentax 6x7 MLU body for a very good price ($110), and was wondering what the lens recommendations might be. My father still has one of his two P67s with the 105/2.4 which I have used quite a bit, and absolutely loved, in addition to the 135, 165, and 200. I was, however, considering the other options available, such as the Takumar 150/2.8, and the 90/2.8. Does anyone have any experience with these objectives?

yup. those are both good lenses. I've got only one takumar, the 300, the rest are pentax smc. I've used the 45, 55, 75, 90, 150, 165, 200, and 300. All good, the 55, 75, and 90 are great and are very resistant to flare as well.

That is a list of the lenses with some technical data. "I think" the 6x7 lenses are the all metal ones and the 67 lenses are the later lighter type.
I have the 165 non leaf shutter, the 67 135 macro, the 6x7 105, the 6x7 90 leaf shutter, the 6x7 75 f4.5 and the 67 f4 55.
They are all pretty sharp for at least an f stop or two. The lenses I most trust for sharpness are the 90 and the 75 and the 55. I find it annoying that the 75 and the 55 are such slow lenses but the 90 and the 105 are 2.somethings. The 165 has lots of fans as does the 55.
