I've thought about this as well, the solution is
simple and requires no ext tubes etc to be added (this
is hypothetical since I have not tried it, simply
because I do not have any of these types of lenses
currently... anyone that has the types of lenses tha
I'm about to mention that could confirm this it would
be appreciated). All of the high end Pentax 35mm glass
has a focus "clutch" mechanism on the lens itself, by
sliding the focus ring either towards or away from the
body you can switch between auto and manual focus
without touching the AF mode switch on the body. So,
could you not set the body to single AF, and use the
clutch on the lens to go to manual and thereby have
trap focusing with an AF lens?
