Hello, I used the old Pentax Super Takumar 55/1.8 on the new SD-14, and it worked out just fine. I've always loved the clarity of the Super Tak and also the warmth of the color rendition.
Here are some images, from the nearby sea shore. I am STILL hoping to get to the rain forest for the "real" tests for me!
Also, I've included the original image straight out of the camera, and the image from using SPP software.
I am new to this; however the SPP software is a surprisingly powerful program! Original camera setting included shooting "to the right" on Histogram, with a +0.7 exposure compensation.
Of course, these are the result of my amateurish abilities with SPP. As I learn more, I hope to make the final output better. That said, I certainly love the way the software brings back the images to what I actually saw in person!

I love the way the gradient was pulled out in SPP

SPP brought forward the warm late afternoon sun tones.
