i have 2 different CCTV lenses for my Q, a 25/1.,4 and a 50/1.4 the 25mm lens is superb, the 50mm i am not totally sold on, but at $35 each for russian made lenses they are cheap. all are c mount so no mechanical shutter. \

you need to remember that the resolution needs for cctv are not exactly high

would you recommend pentax 110 glass instead?

What benefit are you looking for?
Faster?
Longer focal length?

For longer focal lengths, I'm seeing good results so far from some AdaptAll lenses.
The picture below was taken with a #59A {28-70mm} 50mm @ f/5.6
