Sorry about the P/K and P/KA mix up. My mistake, a typo. I think this is isnt going any ware. I believe I simple have to make up my mind, send it to a repair(wo)man, or grab a screwdriver and decide what to do on the fly.
But thanks a lot for trying. Appreciated :-) I think I'll even give you a big smile :-D Tim Not drunk, just plain Norwegian.

If it has an "A" position on the aperture ring, it should lock there. But your designation for the lens is "P/K" not "P/KA", so that's confusing me. If the A position isn't working correctly, the lens is operating as an M/K-bayonet lens would. Set the DS to permit aperture ring operation, switch to Manual exposure mode, and it should work the way any non-A series lens does. Set the aperture you want to use and press the AE-Lock button; the camera will set the shutter speed. Last time I had a problem with a Pentax-A lens' aperture ring was with an A50/1.7. The repair cost me about $30. Godfrey
