While I have tremendous respect for your opinion, I think that K != M. I have received rather nice and large scans of the optical diagrams of both lenses, and those are different. I then dug out a Pentax lens booklet that shows the K and M lenses on the same page with optical diagrams, and those match the geometry of the two scans that I received (from Andre Langevin). The differences are _minimal_, but are there. I will make a new KMP release in the next week, and you will be able to see the differences.
