Tuber ‘vyoufinder’ gives his introduction to each vintage lens, he then shows examples of each Pentax lens in a few different situations. The tests include a bokeh test, maximum bokeh test, distortion test, light falloff, and 3d pop test of micro contrast, sun stars test, flare resistance tests, resolution and sharpness, and nighttime image quality tests.
The video gives very thoroughly reviews of the top 35mm focal length lenses from Asahi Optical Company’s Takumar, Auto-Takumar, and SMC Pentax camera lenses. These lenses compared are full frame format SLR camera lenses tested on Sony A7ii and A7s mirrorless full frame camera bodies.

The Pentax SMC PENTAX-M f2.8 is a good, solid lens for the money. You can always find a good copy for under $50. Best used on full frame but I also like using it on my Micro Four Thirds Panasonic G85 camera for shooting videos.
