Well, I have two M lenses that seem under-represented on this thread so far, so here goes:
(K100D. No aperture information because I never remember... basically I set the lens to f5.6, f8 or f11, and then flick between Av mode for wide open, and M mode for smaller aperture, using the optical preview lever to see the metering in M mode) Images taken RAW, processed in bibble, which includes a bit of noiseninja.
I should say thatwithout my Katzeye focusing screen and O-ME53 eyepiece magnifier, these would be even less in focus than they are now...
M 75-150mm f4
It is a bit of a pain to tell the SR what focal length, but I tend to use it at or near the extremes anyway, a quick off-on of the camera to reset it.

M 40mm f2.8 pancake, which has hardly been off my camera since I bought it a few weeks ago:
I'd forgotten how sharp that M 50mm 1.4 was. You've inspired me to take it off the shelf and put it back in the bag. It's too good to be collecting dust.
Nice job Jay! You really started something with this thread. With over 11,000 views and counting I would say a lot of others are discovering what we knew all along – Pentax M series are great lenses. Your M 100mm shots make me regret more than ever letting my M 100 go.
