Your 45 mm is on K mount and you said there aren't problm to use on AF Pentax I'm a little worried about the 135 pk.
When i have it in my hands i hope work well on my Pentax digital but if chinon produce a pancake in PK mount that work well i hope all the pk lens are standard and do well even on digital pentax body.

I don't think you have to worry. The Chinon has a standard K bayonnet, it works fine in M mode on Pentax DSLR, just as a genuine Pentax lens.

Anyway, I got my lenses back, made a few tests in my garden as promised (full aperture, straight from raw, no sharpening, just levels adjustment) :




Had to stop taking pictures because I was attacked by this ferocious animal :

(this one at f5.6)

As I said I send some shoot:

All f/2.8:

+2.30 stop + sharpen 50

I love this statue! Beautiful and graceful. Very Happy

+2stop + sharpen 60

Sincerely I'm very happy about this lens thanks with its a very high price/performance value.

Note:
Update topic using the image hosting from the forum instead the image hosting that i used before where I deleted some pictures posted here initially.

I took a flyer on an M42 Chinon Multicoated 200mm f3.5 to use with my Spotmatics and Pentax K200D. I love the idea of an (effective) 300mm f3.5 on the K200D for less than $10. Can't wait until it arrives (will try to remember to post some images).
