Pentax SMC 50mm f/2 M lens on modern Pentax bodies?

Hello,

Due to an industrial accisent I sold off all my heavy dslr gear and bought an M43 system a couple of years ago. Long story short, I've healed much better than anticipated and am finding the mirrorless system annoying in some respects. I'm looking at buying either an K-5ii or a K-50. I still have some old Pentax manual lenses, a 50mm f/2 and 28mm F/2.8 M series. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with these lenses on the bodies I'm considering. Do they stand up to a modern sensor or is the IQ poor with them? I'm not terribly demanding anymore, but I do print 16X24 on occasion. Thanks for the help.

Brian
