Originally posted by craveone I have had a photographer tell me that he uses the Asahi Lenses on his Pentax K1000. And that the Asahi lenses are the best K mount lenses to use.
I'm guessing, but I suspect your friend just means K-mount lenses made by Pentax, as opposed to K-mount lenses made by third-party manufacturers (eg. Cosina, Vivitar, Ricoh etc.).
So yes, in that sense your SMC Pentax-A 50/f2 is an 'Asahi' Pentax lens.

Phil.
Not to be pedantic, but there's lots of manual focus K mount lenses that are
not Pentax.
