Emne: RE: What series lens do I have?
If that's the case, then why do I see people refer to
this:
SMCP-A 50/1.4?
I did not think this was a "K" series lens, but rather
an "A" series lens?

That is more or less true but Pentax never officially designated the
SMCP lenses as "K" series lenses. All lenses since the introduction of
the K mount are properly "K" lenses. (Some might give me an argument
about the DA and FAJ lenses but I don't think Pentax officially makes a
distinction)

For me, I would call it a "conditional" yes. :-) So long as I can put
it on my camera and shoot--and if it's a lens worth using... maybe, for
instance, for wide angle... Worth remembering at least.
Thanks William, that's a good "mini-history".

The first of the Pentax bayonet lenses were not given a

lenses after the mount type. (As opposed to M42 screw

Yes, Adorama should know better - .
I think that, to some sellers, if it's a manual focus Pentax K-mount
lens and it has electrical contacts, then it's an A lens, but if it

It didn't. I think some people consider M to mean "manual" as in manual
focusing. Just a guess

You're correct. But the "K" designation never appeared on the lenses,
whereas "M" and "A" lenses were identified with the series letter.
