It's not so easy when some nitwit advertises a lens as having a PKa mount,
and you find (after you've attached it to your camera) that it's actually
a PKR. There's usually nothing on the lens itself to tell you.
It happened to me with a lovely, as new, Vivitar S1 70-210 (the best one -
by Komine). Fortunately, it didn't lock up.

So, in the future - stick to Pentax lenses - or at least dedicated for
Pentax (Sigma, Tamron, Tokina).
It's really cheaper :-)

Emne: Does anyone know how to get a PK-R lens out of a PK-AF2 mount?
I bought a cheap Sirius 135mm PK-A lens on eBay, when I attempted to fit
it
to my MZ-5n it jammed in a position about 30 degrees short of where it
should be. Now it won't come out. It knocks as though something has
locked. On close inspection it turns out to be a PK-R Ricoh-fitting.
So, does anyone know how to get a cheap PK-R lens out of a PK-AF2 mount?
Without destroying the camera?
Yours hopefully,
Mark
