Sigma 70-210mm f/4-5.6 UC II manual focus two-touch zoom, 200mm f/5.6 (wide-open):
Focal brand 200mm f/3.5 M42 lens, f/5.6 (one stop down) -- this is the $1.00 lens with fine scratches on an inner element:
Hanimex brand 200mm f/3.5 M42 lens, f/5.6 (identical to the one above):
Surprisingly, the Takumar-A is still the best, aside from a somewhat warm cast. I had high hopes for the Sigma (but then I thought it was auto-focus, didn't read the description well enough) because it's two-touch: the Takumar-A is quite fiddly to use as its one-touch barrel is quite loose.
