Pentax, at least Pentax USA had K mount lenses listed as current items
up until a couple of years ago.

I get 13 years (72-85), and those were the years Pentax was
outselling about everybody (the golden years?). Of course if they had
real backward compatability you could use that Tessar you bought in
1905 on the D <grin>. Funny thing is that if Pentax were like the
other companies it would have a Z-mount and nothing else would even
fit on the camera.
I used Boz's page as a reference. He lists the original K mount as
1975, and the Ka mount as 1983.
Technically 8 years, possibly as little as seven, since we don't know
if they were full years, so to speak, possibley 9 years, if there was
old stock to get rid of.
