BTW: the "PK-A/R-PK" designation means that it was designed to be compatible with Ricoh cameras. Some folks have had problems with lenses indicating this mount ... there's a different pin arrangement on the Ricoh mount lenses that can get stuck in one of the Pentax AF mount's holes.

My Vivitar Macro 2x did that, I had to take it
apart and re-hook the little springs that are
used as conductors between the lens and body
contacts.
Sounds like yours has a similar problem.

Subject: This is wrong...I think


I have a Vivitar 2x PK-A/R-PK TC.  When I hook it up to a lens and my
*ist-D, the camera won't display the aperture size in the
viewfinder.  For
example, with just the lens, I get f4.5, lens +TC and I get F--

Is my TC screwed-up of is this just an oddity?
