I had a similar experience with a non-pentax version. It wouldn't come off the camera. It was on my LX and I was real nerveous when I tokk pliers and screwdriver to it. Thankfully it finally came off. Later, I bought a genuine Pentax adapter and it locks and unlocks smoothly and easily. I rarely use it however and try to get k-mount lenses instead.
