Sounds like you got it...

Good advice here...   You are gonna love the old MF glass when you get used to it.  Seems everyone has its own 'look/character'  -   I love some of the old Russian and East German glass. 
Somebody in the house got a new Nikon DSLR for Christmas, I was helping him set it up and was so jealous that I had to pull my Kx and K01 out of the closet and put some MF lenses on them.   
It takes a while to get used to them,  If I am shooting below F2.8 I tend to use live view (magnified) just to make sure I am close to focus.   
Here are a couple snaps from a 20 dollar Helios 44M   58mm F2  -  If you can find one cheap grab it.
