I've recently acquired one of my all-time favorite lenses, the very brilliant SMC 100/4 in Pentax mount. I had one of these many years ago, and always regretted selling it off at the time. I was down to very little funds for carrying on, and so had to sell off a lot of equipment. Life has its "ups and downs"!
The lens mounts very solidly on the SD-14 with no looseness at all. I did have to bend the aperture lever into housing, but thankfully those levers can be bent back without breaking, due to the malleable metal, in case I ever want to mount it back to a Pentax mount camera.
Here's a very quick snap into the heart of a Crocus a couple days ago. This was not a very well "set up" shot, and could have benefitted from a tripod or macro bellows. However, for just bending down and shooting hand-held, it worked adequately.
As usual, the Foveon produced the dimensional characteristic that makes me very fond of the output.
