Barry,
I believe Pent*x made a series of K-mount lenses labeled SMC. They are
supposedly the better ones and came out with the ME and MX. You will also
see "A" and "M" lenses. The "M" lenses are traditional K-mount for the
K-1000 and its successors. The "A" ones have an "A" position on the
aperture ring for use with either program or shutter priority bodies, such
as the P3, much like the Can*n FD lenses for the AE-1P. These are also
referred to as KA lenses.
Here's a starting point with a few reviews (scroll down), and some
hyperlinks to other sites:

Our local high school has a pentax K-1000 they use for a yearbook
camera. While they ordinarily have no budget, they do have a small
budget this year to add a lens or two. Specifically, they'd like to
add a prime lens in the 85-135mm range and a 28mm. They may be
interested in a 200mm later. Since I know close to nothing about
Pentax, I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice.
TIA
