Isn't it that the 52mm front thread lens (Tak Bayo) is also a the
shorter lens, making the light path less long? Not so much light bending
to go on, and the same effective aperture can be physically less wide,
in a shorter lens assembly.
So I have gathered from what I've seen over the years...

...except that the Takumar Bayonet 135/"2.5", with its not overly
generous 52mm filter threads (unlike the K 135/2.5, which has 58mm

It lacks SMC. I think it falls into more of the "M" series due to its
size. clearly nothing to do with SMCP-M lenses however.
I think mine is a great indoor portrait lens.
