Who makes that 28mm lens? some PKR lenses don't fit right on AF bodies, it sounds like this is a Vitar PKR lens, if this is the case it sounds like you may not be able to use that lens. The problem is the AF shaft and power zoom contact points jam on the extra ricoh pin on some not fully compatible K mount lenses.
