SMC-FA versus SMC P-FA

unless I am much mistaken, the P simply stands for Pentax.
All Pentax lenses since the introduction of the K mount are either
SMC Pentax -(series designator) (Lens name)
or
Pentax - (Series designator) (lens name)
if they lack the SMC coating. (this is rare, I only know of 5 or 6 examples across all series).
So correctly all FA lenses are SMCPFA lenses, but mostly we get lazy and just refer to FA lenses.
