Hi,
Sorry, so you use K adaptall with new bodies without problems. I think about KA ones.

I have the K Adaptall, not the KA.  It works fine on my two newer
bodies.  No jamming.  Meters as if it were a K or an M lens (no
contacts on the mount).

I didn't write anything about jamming problems, since I haven't had any
with the Adaptall lenses on K-1000, LX, ZX-5, and MZ-S bodies.

Sorry, I don't know, since I don't have the AF-360FGZ flash.  I'm still
using an old AF-280T, and that not very often.

Hi,
I just asked about K adaptall, I am going to buy KA one!! for my Tamron 90/2.8.
So you use your without any problems on ZX5 and MZS but you wrote that there can be 
jamming problems (when you mentions Pz-1p). So I hope I can safely use it on my Pz-1 
and maybe in future on MZS or ZX-L for instance.
Please answer
PS Do you know if only FA lenses allow to use P-TTL or not?What if you use "A" ones or 
adaptall KA?

I originally bought the K adaptor to use with the Ricoh XR-1S.
Then I upgraded to a Ricoh XR-X (Program) so I bought the K-RI.
And when I bought (stole) a Program Plus, I bought a K-A adaptor for it.

Luckily my Vivitar Series I lenses have Program contacts for Pentax and
Ricoh.

And you use KA adaptall with your manual bodies?I prefer tamron 2.8 since it gives 
1:1.What about quality of the lens?

I own the original Tamron SP 90/2.5. It has been a great lens for the past
20 years.
My other Tamron lens is the SP 70-210/3.5-4. Not too shabby.
Both work well with my Super Program and Ricoh XR-X.

Maybe other members can shed some light into the Adaptall compatibility with
the AF Pentax models.
