I suspect that a subscription to the Asahi Optical Historical Club may be your only route. Short of interrogating a Japanese lens designer!

I have found Bojidar Dimitrov's site to be of great help, also the Pentax Digest (http://www.pdml.net).

One of the terrific things about the Pentax system is that all lenses will work on all bodies, within the limits of the body used. So, the latest lenses are quite happy on the P30 but will only work in manual focus, aperture priority and manual (also program mode on the P30T). You can even use all the bayonet lenses on the Spotmatic cameras with the K-mount adapter.
I am very pleased that I have stuck with Pentax cameras since around 1970, and have amassed a large selection of lenses of all vintages at very low prices. The quality is also superb.

Screw lenses on bayonet bodies, yes.

The other small niggle I have with the MZ-S is the sound - a hamster sneezing..... how else to describe it?
My other Pentaxes (Pentaxii?) are all manual focus albeit without motorwinders built in. The LX with motordrive emits a most satisfactory sound.

I regularly purchase from Camera Direct in Brighton. They import from Japan, apparently. They also list the Limited series lenses in black.
