including a discussion of the transition of lens mount versions and
pictures of every known K mount lens and accessory made by Pentax.

I was just taking a look at a pamphlet CRKennedy sent me when I requested a
Pentax lens catalog, and noticed that they've put several A* lenses (big
glass too) in there, as well as the expected FAs and FA*s. Other than the
1.7x AF Adapter, there wasn't anything else SMC F. What happened to the SMC
F big glass? I'm just curious to know how they transitioned from F to FA,
and how is it they still make some of the 'older' stuff like the A 50mm 1.2
(instead of making a revamped FA 50 1.2). Should one assume that there won't
be a new (non-digital) lens series and they'll just keep adding to the
current series (even if that might be wishful thinking)?
