I've really only had two lenses where the rear element looked cramped in the Pentax mount and they were the A*135/1.8 and A*85/1.4.
50/1.2 is also pretty cramped... but I think the A*85/1.4 is very slightly bigger.
It's interesting how both lens designs handled the aperture coupling lever. The 85mm has a notch cut into the rear element's retaining ring, while the 50mm has a small kink in the lever. Not sure how the A50/1.2 or the A*135/1.8 are designed.
