Re: Need a good review site ...
Lots of user comments on Pentax K-Mount lenses:

For technical data on SMC Takumar lenses, much of which is applicable to the
K series:

You can also mount the A series lenses on your K2, although the lens will
not have automatic exposure. It will perform as a K lens would. The A
series offered two advantages:
1: The optical formula was tweaked, resulting in more sharpness, especially
in the corners
2: The A series are a bit cooler than the previous lenses (K and M).
The K series (that is, the original K-mount lenses that were introduced in
1975) have incredible build quality--better than the A series. Many of the
K series were ported over from the previous generation of screwmount lenses,
the SMC Takumars, which also had that incredible build quality.
