Looking For A Vintage Lens. Are These Worth The Gamble?

So I have a Pentax K-50 and I have been considering getting an old vintage lens to mess around with. I am not doing anything above the hobby level so I don't really need the best of the best, I am just looking for something new to try out. I am fully aware that a new 50mm is a little more than $100 but that's not really what I am looking for.

That being said would either of these be worth it for about $20 each? If so, which one would be better? Any other suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
