Pentax SMC-M 40mm f2.8 pancake lens test shots

In production between 1976 and 1984, this tiny lens is well deserving of it's "pancake" nickname. They seem to fetch around $80-100 USD on ebay at the moment, I was able to find one in a pawnshop for $50 Australian ($38 US)...makes nice sharp pics as well! All images shot in "natural", JPG *** with sharpening set to +1. Crops and resized originals are saved in PS6.0, jpeg level 10.
Tiny, isn't it!
