Simple Answer....
Print out the definition (from Boz's site) of the differing K-Mount
types, K, KA, K-af, K-af2.
Identify the body in question and look it up on Boz's site. The mount
type will be defined.
Identify the lens in question and look it up on Boz's site. The Mount
type will be defined.
Whatever the mount type, the lesser featured of the two mounts will
dictate the features available.
Exceptions as noted in previous messages, and an addendum that "Trap
Focus" can be made to work with most any lens on a body that has Auto
Focus.
