Old SMC M lenses
The latter being arguably one of the best 28 primes, ever made.
I love those old lenses. And will use them as much as possible.
They produce a certain 3-D look on your pictures, I really like.
But....as more and more people know about these little gems, the prices go up and up.
It's getting more and more difficult to snatch a bargain.

Lenses wider than the various 28mm's are around but tend to attract a bit of a premium unfortunately.
The M 200/4 isn't bad if you get a good example, but they tend to fetch higher prices (still under £100 but not as cheap as the 135's).
Unfortunately the rest of the world knows this as well and second hand prices are quite high.

Just a little off topic But I have an A version of the 200mm f4 in mint condition, What do you reckon its worth,: I have never seen another to compare it with.
I also have an A version of the 100mm f2.8 Just curious

Worth?
Lots!!!
Back to the OP, don't be conned by the 'rare' 40mm. They're not, just over priced because they're slim.
I had one and got rid, preferring my 50mmf1.7 which was sharper and easier to focus (bigger focus ring)
Alternatives to what you have could be the 'A' lenses, but only to set aperture from the body. Image results are the same.
K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.
Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...
PPG entries.
