K-mount lenses

[yamamori]

I recently acquired an SLR which is almost unused. It requires lenses of the Pentax K-mount system. Does anyone have a tip regarding where I might find additional lenses? I'm keen to avoid the disappointing experience of ordering a used lens described as "excellent condition" and finding it to be something I might call "poor." In other words, I'm seeking a reliable dealer. Thank you very much.

K-mount lenses are the most common you can find. Modern day Pentax lenses are still K-mount! Its an excellent choice.

Thank you for your advice. Let me be more specific, if I may. The camera is a Ricoh KR-10, and it uses the Pentax K-mount system. I lack a standard, 50mm lens. Will used Pentax lenses labeled "smc a", or "smc m" fit this body? I have found such lenses on the KEH Camera site.

I had a Ricoh camera many moons ago and all my Pentax lenses fit it fine. You should have no problem with either 50mm.
