With a resurgence of interest in film photography along with the ease which vintage K Mount lenses can be used natively or adapted to Mirrorless, John Riley takes a look at the history and models of the compact SLR Pentax-M series of camera and lenses.

Can be sharp at 1.2 and a bit "dreamy" and then crazy sharp as the apertures are smaller.
selling as I don't use it enough to justify.
Highly regarded lens.

possibly consider a trade plus/minus cash for 31mm f1.8, a tamron 180mm f2.5, not sure what else I might like to try.
the lens is in great condition, everything working as it should, crisp clicking aperture ring etc. etc.
feel free to ask any questions and here's some pics of the lens and with it. the close-up of the key is using one small extension tube, really does a good job with this too! I shot loads of macros with it recently.
