more lenses pretty quickly. I'm surprised we haven't had any
statements from Ricoh about their future plans

I think that 50 is an M as it has the M-type lens cap, the K series caps have a crinkle finish and don't have Asahi Pentax picked out in chrome. My three lenses above have the original K caps.
The 50mm is a 'K' It has INF then 10M on the focus scale the 'M' has INF then 15M which means it should be easier to focus at around 15M
'K' link and 'M' link
I wouldn't think there was much between the two the M is a slightly modified design of the K and some elements were increased in size which indicates it wasn't purely cost cutting.

the don't have a Man/Auto switch and can't all be modified for digital.
Possibly the best f/1.7's wide open.
Russian lenses are excellent especially the 85mm and 135mm Jupiters and 50mm Helios's.

With some lenses the red square is as good as you will get. It's
unlikely that a 28mm f/3.5 can be turned precisely enough to get
the green hexagon at over 3m There's only 5mm on the
focusing scale between the 3m mark and infinity You'd
need some kind of micrometer adjuster

I think the f/1.4 was a K? very cheap for all the items

flat for head and shoulders enlarged bigger than postcard size.
The big drawback with the Pentax 135mm's was the 1.5m minimum
focus when other makes were down to 1.0m.... My favourite used to be
the Ensinor 135mm f/2.8 which went down to 1:5 macro. You see
them from time to time on ebay for a whopping £10-£20
