Hi, I think K-series lenses without 'mm' at the end were manufactured between 1975 and 1977/78. Those with 'mm' engraved were manufactured from around 1978 onward, contemporaneously to the M-series lenses. Such later versions seem to exist only for K-lenses that do not have an īM'-equivalent. >From what I have seen these second versions have constantly higher serial numbers.
