If you were disappointed with a SMC Pentax-M 40mm f2.8 then it wasn't up to scratch. These are actually very fine lenses.
As a standard lens I feel any of the 50mm manuals out perform the 40mm on both film and digital bodies.
But that's just my thoughts.

If you decide to sell the MX on you'll have the choice of with or without lens, it pays to have a cheap manual lens of this quality as a spare.
I agree about the 40mm. I spent ages trying to get one and wasn't impressed when I did. It's back on ebay now!

You've got a nice usable lens there.

Only for UK members who have it set to Dutch, not the other way around Stefan. With our heritage that wouldn't be fair.
On the other hand an awful lot of people speak some form of English, that makes us lazy and bad at other languages!
Mind, I can order a beer in quite a few!
Back on topic, how useful is the handbook when setting up cameras?

Like #3 and the one above.

Now I have the camera set up as I like it I need to refer to the manual if I do anything different.

The beauty of the K mount is any lens from the last 40 or so years can be used on the latest bodies. A lot of members use older manual lenses regularly, me included!
As for the 18-55 mkII, probably the best standard lens out there, see this thread
