Oh, this is about Pentax MF stuff - as opposed to Pentax 35mm. Why is that an issue? You want to use MF lenses for 35mm cameras or DSLR's?
Pentax MF lenses (645) should be excellent if Pentax wants to be compeditive in the digital MF segment, ehre others are alrady miles ahead (Hasselblad, Rolleiflex, Mamiya, Fuji, Sinar and who else...). I guess Pentax MF lenses are quite good, although perhaps not the best there is.

Well, my experience is still that MF lenses from Pentax are less sharp than comparable 35mm K-mount lenses as long as we keep the basement consumer stuff out of the discussion (equivalents to these doesn't exist in MF).
