John, if you are thinking of going for a Takumar then my personal advice would be to get the 135mm. I have the 135mm and the 105mm fitted to Photons, and to be completely honest there is not much difference in the performance between them (magnification and FoV). The difference in S/H prices though can be quite substantial. A decent 135mm can sell for around £30, while the 105mm examples fetch £80+. I believe that the 105mm are in demand by the camera enthusiasts (?).

Thanks for the information Tremo
I will widen my search. Just unscrewed the front off my photon 6.5 x 50. Very tight. I wouldent have chanced it if i hadent read that it could be done on here.

Yeah, it does make you twitch for that moment when you are not quite sure if the housing is going to break/crack!
