Tokina 800mm F8 screwmount

Does anyone have experience with the 800mm F8 screwmount? I could use it with the adapter on my K-mount cameras for wildlife, if it is sharp enough. I make 8x10s, 11X14s, occasional 16X20s. I might be a lot better off to get Pentax¹s 1,000mm SMC F8, even though it will cost a lot more. RW
