K50/1.2

Earlier today I picked up one SMC 50/1.2. (earlier SMC rather than the later smc)
How many of these were made?

Neither variant of the K 50/1.2 is particularly rare, though it is a desirable lens and does command a premium price.

I had one back in the day, so now we are up at 7... ;-) The one I have nowadays is the later version. Nice lenses.

Hopefully you didn't sell it to one of the "first twelve".... or we're back to eleven? (Pentaxian integrity rules)

I'm pretty sure digitalis has one as well.
I just have the pedestrian A version, so it doesn't count

I've had three at one time or another, so either 13 or 15

Based on estimating from the Serial Number Database I'd say around 30,00015,000, 7500 of them Version 1. By coincidence mine is the highest Serial entered in the database.
