The M and A series arent bad, but not quite as good as the k series IMHO. The absolute peak of Pentax lens build quality were the SMC takumars from the early 70's. Too bad they are screw mount.

The F's were horrible and the FA / DA / D-FA's are a mixed bag, generally better than the F's but leaving a lot to be desired. I do not have any FA* or DA* lenses, so maybe they are up to snuff....
