Really desirable F and FA lenses are relatively rare and expensive,
though there are a lot of consumer Zooms available dirt cheep. I doubt
that Pentax sold even half as many cameras and lenses after the success
of the M series cameras and lenses in the 70's and 80's. It wasn't
until the MZ/ZX cameras that Pentax began to enjoy a renaissance.
