The K1000 sold well because it was on sale for over twenty years. A sort of VW Beetle of the photographic world.

Judging by Ebay, far more M lenses were sold than K, mainly I think because the ME and ME Super were enormously popular, and the Ks (apart from the K1000) were withdrawn from the market quite quickly.

OTOH, there is a LOT of M stuff out there, which suggests that it sold well, as the K stuff apparently did not.


The K1000 sold extremely well, as did the K lenses. Some of the M lenses are very good. The M 135/3.5 is very sharp and contrast. The M40/2.8 performs very well. The M50 1.4 and 1.7 are very fine optics as well. I wouldn't condemn the M series. Some of them are very nice lenses.
