I believe rebuilting a LX would still cost much less than a LX2000 which was
designed to soak up money. :-)

Well, if you guys want a new one so bad, why didn't you buy that LX2000

I suspect there will be none. At least for the reason that you'd want
the K-series lens to be put back in production again, which won't happen
either. So enjoy yours while it works, and after that display it in
your room, as the symbol of an era that will never return, wipe a tear

calibration issue completely irrelevant. I shot for 1 week a lens
with faulty aperture, and I couldn't notice it, the exposure was right

... about drilling a hole on the mount of your K
Along those lines I know that a number of people have
had their AIS Nikon lenses converted to a "P" type
with a computer chip added/new F mount. This will give
the old AIS lens all the capabilities (like matrix
metering) of a P type but with no Af obviously & can
be used with cameras like the N80.
If only it was that easy.
You could fool the camera by turning a K mount into a pseudo KA mount, and
it would appear to work, inasmuch as it would go through the motions.
The fly in your ointment is that between the K/M mount and the KA mount,
Pentax changed the stopdown lever from a non-linear a

Drilling a hole on the mount is not necessary, you can use tape

And you can remove a tape, not a hole !
