WTB: Functioning Bargain Pentax Lenses

I'm interested in functioning yet beat up pentax KA mount lenses.

I'm mainly interested in wide angle lenses. Since I shoot a lot of action
and adventure stuff and I've lost a few good lenses I've decided to only buy
bargain grade stuff. I just dropped a $400 24mm lens 200ft to the ground and
it wasn't the first lens I've lost.

I'm looking for fixed focal lenghts in the 19-24mm range. Non Fisheye. With
a maximum aperture greater than F4 (F2.8 prefered). Clear optics are
strongly prefered.

Thanks.

I had good luck buying used Pentax lenses from eBay. Sellers with great
feedback and who describe the condition of the lens completely (glass,
aperture, barrel) are usually the best ones to buy from. Pentax glass is
well respected by it's users and the A lenses or newer seem to be getting
high bids. I ended up getting M type lenses because of the lower costs.
