After all, who would want to change lenses on a SLR. Practically every camera body they sold during that time would have had a 50mm lens mounted to it. They sold something like 10 million K1000 cameras. Thats pretty close to 10 million 50mm f/2 lenses right there. A lens catalogue shows what is supposed to be available, not what people actually buy. Methinks the HUGE NUMBER OF K LENSES that you are discussing is, in reality, a fairly small number of lenses that people would actually want to mount to a new camera.
