Yeah, I got lucky. The lens is full of fungus (I bought it in a pawnshop in sunny, moist Brisbane that just kept the lenses in a cabint,) along with a Rikenon 50mm f1.7. Whole shebang set me back $30, if I recall correctly. I figure I spent $5 on the Rikenon, so that makes the K $25.

It's an excellent lens. Incidentally, it's formula is identical to the 1.4's, so if you can sacrifice some light, save your cash.
