My favorite Pentax lens is the 55mm f/2. I think it was made in screw mount too. Absolutely beautiful lens. The 50mm f/1.4 is very nice too.
A few months back, a neighbor gave me a Spotmatic F with an 55mm f1.8 SMC Takumar.
What I have come to enjoy about it is the focal length. That extra 5mm over a 50mm lens seemed trivial at first, but I like it better than the 50mm lenses I've used before.
I have a 50mm f2 Takumar on my SP500 whic I cannot fault. If you don't actually need to go lower than f2 then the only advantage to the faster lenses is the extra brightness in the viewfinder.
I have not looked but I would think the f2 lens sells for less than the f1.4 or f1.8
