According to the Wikipedia site about Pentax K-mount, these 69 brands have produced as many as 453 K-mount lenses up till today. (Or till the day the site was updated.) That number is too low. Some brands are not listed with the total number of lenses.
Takumar, for instance, is listed with only two when the total number is 12. Quantaray is listed with only one. The total number is at least 6. In addition to this I found the following lens brands with K mount FF on eBay on December 23rd 2021:
- 70 Albinar K 28 2,8
- 71 Sirius K 28 2,8.
- 72 Meyer Gorlitz K 35 2,8.

- This is how far I got going through 1650 out of some 4500 K-mount listings on eBay as of late december 2021. A lot of these are house brands and therefore
often duplicates of other producers on the list. On ebay, some are listed several times, while some other brands are most likely not listed at all. (Believe it or not, not everything is for sale on eBay.) Anyway, there are certainly more than the 34 lenses
listed from *70 to *103 above.
- So, the preliminary sum of K-mount lenses are:
Pentax lenses: 199 Pentax Takumar:
12 Lenses produced by the 69 brands listed: 453 (at least) (Takumar not included.) Other lenses found on eBay late december 2021: 34
Sum: 697 lenses!! And there are even more lenses out there. We are already close to 700 lenses! How many all together? NB! Ricoh
and some other 3rd party lens producers used the Ricoh variant of KA mount(K-R mount) with the infamous "Ricoh pin" from 1983 (introduction of A-lenses/cameras.) These lenses were constructed in a way that, if you use them on an Pentax SLR/DSLR AF camera,
often make them get stuck on the camera. So be aware. The pin is located almost directly opposite of the red spot and is easily removed. How you can spot it and how to remove it, please look up "Ricoh pin." Pentax Forum will give good advices.
