Yes, the film era lenses have rings.

Only FAJ(film era), DA and DFA dont.
I mean - adapter.

If I understand what you're asking...
From what I heard from another person using the K&F adapter, it is clicked. I.e., you can close down in steps on the adapter. (Steps are apparently ~ 2/3 - 1 stop each)

I purchased the cheaper Fotasy Pentax DA > Fuji X adapter, and it is clickless. That might be better for video. Otherwise with my DA lenses, I'm guessing how much I'm stopping down, and each lens is different.

sorry for the late answer.

On this adapter : K&F Concept Lens Adapter for Pentax PK/DA Lens to Fujifilm Fuji FX Mount Camera

There is an aperture ring, well it works like an aperture ring but it's not precise at all.
On my M 28mm /f2.8 Lens it works like this.
You set the min aperture (/f22) on the lens itself and then the aperture ring on the adapter will range from max aperture of the lens (/f2.8) to minimum aperture you set, in only 7 steps/clicks
Which means that if you set a min aperture of /f8 you have more precise control on the 7 steps.

I havent tried with lens with no aperture control, ie DA lens for example.

So Im using this adapter only with lens with aperture ring, and I control the aperture with the ring on the lens, not the ring on the adapter.
The next image is taken with the SMC M-28mm /f2.8

Here's my X-T100 with the Fotasy Pentax DA > Fuji X adapter and the DA 40XS lens. Quite a compact kit!

That is what I was asking about. I need an adapter with which I could adjust aperture because some of my lenses for Pentax don' t have aperture ring. Your information about how it works is what I was looking for, thank you! Unfortunately there is no such adapter on ali express. Probably will use ebay.
