Ah, this would be a gamble purchase. It's being sold as an antique, so no way of knowing whether the lightmeter is working!
As regards lenses, I used to change them all the time, but recently I've been finding myself just sticking to the kit lens. I think I've missed a lot of shots in the past due to trying to fit a shot into a prime lens. I think I'm done with that. So I would probably seek out an m42 zoom that goes from wide to middle. Of course, I'd happily keep the 28mm around, but my shoulder can only take so much weight nowadays.

Period m42 fit zooms would be awful. Better to stick to the Pentax primes, that are noted for their quality.
