The so called "K series" lenses were the first batch of lenses with the K bayonet. They are marked "SMC Pentax" without any suffix. When the later M series lenses came out they were labelled "smc pentax -M" and so forth with the -A -F -FA -DA suffix. -- J.C.

It was the fact that aperture can be controlled on the camera body in the A series that attracted me. Perhaps I should be more concerned about quality of images produce, but at this point I only have others' experience to draw on regarding that. I'm a bit unclear about K as a lens series versus K as a type of lens mount. Until this thread I assumed all -- or almost all -- Pentax lenses were K lenses. I gather now they are distinct classifications. However, as a reference to a lens series, I think I have yet to encounter a K lens. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
