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
threads) would seem unlikely to be much faster than f/2.8. In any
I got the M 3.5 a few months ago off ebay, for about $40 IIRC. I've been
pretty happy with it.

I have one of the aforementioned and oft besmirched lenses. I assume
that this was some kind of consumer grade product. It clearly does not
fit into the K, M, A, F, or FA category. Anyone know the details. I
can't find it on any of the Pentax lens pages I usually access.
