don't forget the "K" series lenses which have some of the finest lenses they ever made and quality control was superb back in the day. K>M>A>F>FA>DFA>DA

Pentax made a ton of M series lenses for the MX, ME, ME Super, etc. The A series went with the Super Program and Program Plus cameras. They are desirable as the apertures are the same as measured on the latest cameras. The A 28/2.8, A 50/1.7, A 50/1.4 are all pretty common on ebay and not too pricey. There are A 20/2.8, A*85/1.4, A 100/2.8, A 200/4, A*300/4, A 400/5.6. They are nice lenses, but get more expensive. Pentax lens history by series is M, A, F, FA, DFA, DA. The M's and A's are manual focus. The F's and FA's are the start of autofocus. The DFA's and DA's are especially for the latest autofocus digitals. (The DFA's and DA's lose the aperture ring and aperture is only controled thru the camera.)
