Can anyone please give me a list of compatible k-mount lens manufacturers including older companies as i'd like to maybe experiment.

Thanks

You can search online ... Try this ... 'Pentax K Mount Lens Reviews and Database'. That should lead you to a compete resource including third party options.

Samyang make Full Frame compatible modern K mount lenses with manual focus. Sigma and Tamron are the main modern options for autofocus. Going back in time the main alternatives were Tamron and Tokina, but you will find a huge range of alternatives, of all sorts of quality and prices.

That would be a long list. Maybe this is a good starting point: http://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/

One can also start their search with ones which are for sale presently. On sites such as B&H they do have search functions for both PK and then full-frame. The existing line up of new PK full-frame is over fifty lenses
