What manual aperature / focusing lens for K-50 with Aperature Block

Rather than discarding my K-50 with Aperature Block (i.e., all pics dark), someone said I could buy a used "manual" 50mm, F1.4 lens and mount on my Pentax KAF2 fitting and be able to use camera?

Is this true and if so, what type lens should I try to get? I assume, I can use camera allowing shutter speed to determine correct exposure for the F-Stop I've manually set.

is this true, Any advice or is this a bad idea ?
