Thanks Tom. Yes I agree about the K2 ASA ring, it’s no issue at all now. It was a bit of a shock to use after I got my first K2 a year ago, as I was so used to the KX after all that time. It also didn’t help that my first K2 had a stuck ASA ring. Eric fixed it and all is well.
I also collect Pentax brochures and instruction manuals. I found this one page addition to the K2 Manual on how to set the ASA film speed.
I guess Penatx figured it needed clarifying and made it an amendment to the manual.
