Stateside they would probably be called "countersunk philips head machine screws". That is without pulling one to look at it (it could be recessed instead of countersunk). Probably 2-2.5mm.

OK, I just pulled one, it is a "recessed binderhead phillips machine screw"

Okay, one for the engineers on the list.

Do you know what the screw size is for a typical Pentax K mount lens -
the kind that hold the actual K mount bayonet flange onto the rear of the
lens?

I appreciate that lengths may vary according to lens, but the width and
the thread type seem to be standard, at least with SMC K and A lenses, or
at least the ones I have come across. How would you describe these screws
- cross-head, countersunk screws or bolts? And as for size and thread
type - is there a particular recognised nomenclature? Someone quoted 'BA'
sizes at me, is this relevant?

Any help very much appreciated.





Cheers,
