Thanks ! I've been helped to get a K5 II with its SMC 18-55 DA ED AL WR, will test this lens at 18-20mm and see if I keep it or sell it, 8000 actuations, 410 euro with this lens, surely will get better low light shots, expecting to have it in my hands the 8th of december So I should keep using my K200D for daylight shots with my (still dismounted) Vivitar series 1 70-210 3.5 (kiron) tank, heavy but producing so sharp shots.

That's a great addition to an already good set--a lot of those old lenses have a lot a character! I think I like the second best...the stack of chairs in the lower right really has a neat color combination.

Yes, primes are realy the best, I've never had any decent zoom since I had my K200D, the last I bought (Vivitar series 1 70-210 3.5) was full of fungus on the middle optical block, and it's a pain to dismount it, and worst to mount it back, I give up and will get refund. Very unlucky with zooms. Best lenses I have atm are the Cosina MC 24 mm close focusing macro, the Auto Chinon MC 50mm 1.7 and the SMC Pentax-M 135mm 3.5 (which still need infinity focus calibration but produces awesome shots and has optics and mechanics in mint condition). So I'm fed up with zooms, and think I'll now only shoot with MF primes.
