Old lenses can be fantastic, great glass and simple functionality, I always scout the old camera shops around Bangkok when I am there, just in case. :)
Nothing wrong with this image oscar118, nicely done

Very nice results! šŸ˜€ Quite impressive for an old lens, good details and colours, very nice stackšŸ‘. My brother and I have some old Pentax glass which I use for macro from time to time. I captured some peacock spiders with it last spring (stills and video) and it performed very nicely.
