Yes. Pentax made the A* 135/1.8 a very superb but pricey lens. Also in the 70-80's Sigma made a manual focus 135/1.8 in their XQ line that was available in PK mount. Sun/Polaris/Spiratone made/sold a giant 135/1.8 in the 70's with an 82mm filter size. It's the cheapest value if you can find them. McBroom's has the last one averaging between $125-175USD. The Sigma goes for around $300USD or so used. Neither of the others are close to the Pentax in absolute quality but they are all well built all metal lenses. I have 1 of the Sigma's in PK mount and 2 of the others (1 Polaris and 1 Spiratone) in M42 ES mount (all of these lenses are interchangeable YS mounts although the PK mount is factory installed only and can't be switched between lenses by a user like the rest of the YS mounts can).
