Hah!
Another "go to your own resources and answer your own question!"
I looked at Bojidar's site, and ignoring the FA* len$ $till available,
there are 3 Pentax 24mm W/A lenses out of production: two Ks, only one
an f/3.5, made in '75-'77, possibly the K-mount version of the SMCT;
there was also the K-mount f/2.8 ('77 - '84,) then an A f/2.8 (made
from '84 to '89.) All 3 are 9 element, 8 groups, so probably they're
almost the same design.
So, I can look for one of those, barring any negative reports from the
gallery! <g>
