I actually bought those older 50's just to try out since they were dirt cheap. I held a kind of head-to-head with them, and found I preferred the A model, but my friend was hankering for it, so I let him have it. The F was to try out the AF, to see if I preferred the AF or MF. I wanted the 1.4 to 1.2 range because I do a lot of low-light shooting, but I found the 1.4's to have REALLY distracting bokeh. It almost looked like an oil painting to me:

You are correct, btw, 1k USD.

I've been super impressed with Pentax-M 135 f/2.8. Like... jaw dropping impressed. I'm still getting used to manual focus, and sometimes miss shots as a result, but my good ones turn out pretty darn good.
BTW, I've just come across this thread, with much the same project in mind. Comparing the legacy lenses. :)
The sharpness on this picture killed me when I threw it on my monitor.
Having spent some time with Zeiss glass, which for some reason tends to the cold side of the temperature spectrum, I was really happy with the way colors were coming out of this lens without needing fiddlilng.
My friends are looking to maybe go through my collection of lenses for their own cameras, and really like to see bokeh. So I was just messing around with shots, trying to get some defined flowers in the near background.
I was curious how the bokeh would work with a more urban background. Still impressed.
I can't believe this lens costs as little as it does... I'm flabbergasted by its abilities.
