SMC stands for super multi coated.  Pentax lenses cost more because they are 
a hell of a lot better in quality, then say zycor or vivitar.  You get
what you pay for in the camera industry.  As a test try scratching your 
vivitar lens and then your pentax.  See which looks better.
Also another good lens is Nikor by that small company called Nikon.
