In general terms, Super Takumars are quite ordinary lenses.

A Super Achromatic Takumar, on the other hand, would be a whole different story (achromatic -> apochromatic -> superachromatic, in order of performance and potential interest).

Never heard of the 105mm.

The 135 super tak is famous. Available in M42 mount (and probably others). Very sharp wide open, ok contrast, poor bokeh.

Good chance your lens has similar properties.
