Thanks!
Actually my second screw mount lens is on its way from eBay - an 8 element version of the 50mm Super Takumar! I am checking my postbox every day! :)

Some test pics I took with my 'new' SMC Takumar 85mm F1.8 (my first screw mount lens):
At F1.8 the lens gives sharp and surprisingly contrasty and colourful images even in low light. Bokeh is smooth and pleasing but focus can be hard to get right especially due to the very narrow depth-of-field. I found I had to be quite deliberate on where I placed the point of best focus. (In the images I have attached, I focussed on the eyes which I believe gave the best effect.)
All photos taken with K10D:
F1.8, 1/60s, 400 ISO, natural (and low) light
100% crop: (best focus on left eye)
F1.8, 1/60s, 400 ISO, natural (and low) light (best focus on left eye):
100% crop (best focus on left eye):
F2.8, 1/50s, 400 ISO
