3 generations of K:

Pentax has given their cameras many names on models and series. One of the first was the Asahi Pentax K. That letter has been coming back.

We hereby present: Asahi Pentax K, Asahi Pentax K2 and Ricoh Pentax K-3:

The K's: Asahi Pentax K of 1958 in focus. First Pentax with semi automatic diaphragm and shutter speed of 1/1000.
Focus on Asahi Pentax K2 of 1975. First Pentax to leave the famous M42 thread and introduce the K bayonet. A very well built camera.
The Ricoh Pentax K-3 of October 2013 to the right. So far, one of the most advanced DSLR APS-C cameras around.

Thank you! I should have said around 500000. Also remember that sometimes a top plate was broken and had to replace it with a spare one numbered differently.

I think your SN indications for the S1 may be a little off. I just picked up a chrome one with SN 527384.
