17mm f/4

[P. J. Alling]

That was relatively inexpensive for one in good condition.  They're 
fairly rare being a bit specialized. IIRC the it was estimated that 
Pentax sold less than 30 a year for most of it's production period.  I 
paid about $200. for mine about six years ago and it's in much rougher 
shape.
