I have the early version of the 200 F3.5. It is a nice lens. It is not much smaller that a typical 70-200 zoom, but it is sharp and the focus feel is great. The biggest weakness is the minimum focusing distance is pretty long.
I also have the later 90 F2.8. It is a great lens and a fairly cheap way of getting into macro. The problem with the Adaptall's is the difficulty in getting your hands on a PKA mount. They are going for more that the typical Adaptall lens on eBay. The lens I really would like it the 180 F3.5. Anyone have one they want to sell?
