Re: Concerning the "A" connections

No, its the opposite.  On the body there is a recessed, insulated pin 
that makes contact with an opposing pin on the lens mount.  When the 
lens is set to "A" the pin on the lens gets shorted to ground.

Does this mean that if you put tape (or something like that) on the lens
mount (on the place where the contacts are missing), the camera thinks there
is an A-lens?

That's precisely my point.

With any K/M lens that spot is metal, meaning that it is shorted
as if it were always in the A position.
If the spot is open (disconnected) then the camera reads the
simulator arm aperture setting.
