CyberJ: My 90mm Rokkor Leitz was originally designed for the Minolta CL...I use it on my M9 and it takes excellent portrait photos with nice bokeh and little barrel distortion...Plus it's 35 years old and no haze of fungus...

CyberJunkie's point of no infinity focus on M-Mount glass to Pentax K is correct. Here's the description summary attached

Thank you. The Sumicron is a special lens with its own character.

100% Crop

Testing the Leica 35-70mm/4 at 70mm, which I have read somewhere is its weakest spot of the zoom. But a crop of the shot below at f5.6, at least in terms of sharpness, looks good. I actually decreased the default sharpness setting in Lightroom. The K1's meter reading resulted in a dark rendering, but I like it:

I've read good things about the R 90/2, including that it approximated the legendary R 80/1.4 for bokeh and glow. The author of this article on the "Leica glow" highly praised the R90/2 when he said, "Summicron 90mm f/2 Pre-ASPH is the most subtle, and it glows only wide-open. The glow is complemented by a beautiful bokeh and high micro-contrast. Arguably, this lens has the most iconic “Leica look” signature." Alright then!

Toward my tastes were also the advantages of the R90/2 being much smaller/lighter and half the price of the R80/1.4. So when I finally got a late model R90/2 all Leitaxed and ready to go yesterday afternoon, I ran out to take a test shot hoping it would live up to expectations. I need to use it more, but the first shot at F2 was encouraging:
