Pentax or all brands?
Here are 482 to start considering.... M42 is a site dedicated to M42 adaptator lenses. You will find here tests, from argentic to numeric cameras and oldest to newest M42 lenses. Members described their work and the used lens. Oldies, but goldies!

btw - have you thought of googling some of these questions yourself?

If you are interested in manual focus lenses this site has some gems... http://www.mflenses.com/gallery/main.php

I've looked on wikipedia for a few, but I like the discussion that originates from posting some in threads.

What about SMC?
To furthur clarify this, the lenses which simply say "SMC Pentax" on the front, are typically K series, whereas, for example, a DA series lens says "SMC Pentax-DA"
