according to this site link
"This was Pentax megaseller wideangle lens. It continued in different mountings until 1979 (K-Bayonet)"
So any of the Pentax 35mm f/3.5's should give similar results with
the SMC versions being slightly better.
Fixing an M42 adapter to the lens permanently should produce
a lens that gives better metering and focus indication should
work up to f/8 or just set the lens on INF for landscapes.
I bought an SMC M42 for £18....Much cheaper solution

space?..... Don't forget that the focal length changes
as you focus closer
Edit: You already have a 17-70mm... can't you just
measure it?

and show the TRUE capacity of the batteries, which often isn't
as high as the makers claim. Good makes like Eneloop (Sanyo)
are usually just slightly higher than claimed.
The charger will also attempt to revive bad batteries to get
a better capacity by continuous charge/discharge cycles. It
stops when it can't get any more out of the batteries.

I hope Pentax fix it to your satisfaction very quickly.

Some of the old Minolta lenses were better than everyone
else's. Especially the 135mm with very nice bokeh now
branded Sony.

Sometimes the preview and histogram of a shot I've just
taken disappears before I have chance to look at it.
I can't remember what it's set too but on most shots
I have time to check the histogram. Probably happens
about once every 50 single shots. I never use bursts.

Cosseted in its cosy world of bubble-wrap, the lens arrived today, safe and sound. It stretched, no doubt weary from its long journey, unzipped its coat and now resides happily on my shelf waiting for its first walk.
Looks good and I'll look forward to trying it out soon!

As you can see from the 2nd shot the lens has
quite nice bokeh as well.
