Nice work there.
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

Congrats: Good job!

The M 135/3.5 got a bit of bad press as being underwhelming. I think largely due to it being plentiful as it was the cheapest telephoto available from Pentax.
I still have my copy and I love it. The size is compact, it has a built in hood and it renders wonderfully.
ps I find your images a little over-processed if i may be so bold.

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!

in the film slr days there have been tests of 135 mm lenses and there this Pentzax lens was on the better side of the 3.5 lenses but couldn't compete with the K 2.5 and the better 2.8 lenses on the market (as there were Leica, Zeiss, Rollei, Mamiya, Nikon outperforming this little lens).
BUT:
You'll hardly find adaptors for those lenses to be used with K-mount.
Zeiss (for Contax, Yashica mount as well as Rollei QBM mount) as well as Leica lenses are at a very high price point now: you could buy yourself a new dslr + lens instead!
Often they are collectors items.
