I din't think it matters.

Yes, but you can usually find one on eBay. You might get lucky and find it has an Adaptall 2 Pentax adapter with it. If not and has a N***n or something on it, sell that one to fund the Pentax fitting.
If you get the lens for around £30 for the lower quality version it won't be too much of a punt, but I wouldn't go any higher than that. For the much better version maybe about £45-£50 would be reasonable.

I love the full colour version. I hope you don't mind me saying but the whole concept of the B&W with a bit of colour has always left me cold. To me it says "I can do this so I will do this". Unless you are making some sort of point like in an advert I prefer it straight. Yes I know we all process our pictures a bit from time to time but I hope you know what I mean.

Both were taken with the 10-20. I took all my gear out on sunday but somehow I kept finding the excuse to leave this one on the camera. I'll get over it.
The anchor seems to have almost taken on the look of wood somehow. It's strange how it seems to be in layers.

I was just leaving home to travel to Anglesey when you took this cracker! How did you warm them up again?

I doubt if you would improve on the optics. I would stick by it and spend the money on a different focal length.

Ye Olde Anciente Sigma lens has come up trumps.
The thing with manual focus is that the more you practice the better you get. Looks like you don't need much practice though.
