Only the later screw mount lenses lenses as modified for open aperture metering with the DSX/MSX bodies had the locking pin (lug?). The lenses made for the TL and DTL have the same single pin arrangement as the pre-open aperture metering Pentax lenses - I have several which are now retired. The lenses were better than "crappy" but distinctly inferior to Takumars IMO. Regards, Ed M. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
