I've only got three; the A50/f1.7 I've had for ages (I believe I got it in 1983 when I bought my Super Program), the A50/f1.4 I picked up through rec.photo.marketplace before all the sales moved over to eBay, and the F50/f1.7 I was given by a neighbour together with his SF-1 and Takumar 28-80. I should also have an ME Super & M50/1.4, but that mysteriously vanished. The original reason I ended up with Pentax was because of the quality of the M42 50/f1.4; I bought one of those, and a Spotmatic II, with my first paycheck. I'm not sure which of the variants it was, but it was the version current in 1972 (probably a Super Multi Coated Takumar).
