I just received a Adaptall-2 PKA adapter for my K20D and it was registering (F---). I searched and found the tip here on turning the adapter back 1/2 degree from the fully locked position. Now I can fully use my small collection of Adaptall-2 lenses!:D
BTW I paid $112.93 (w/ S&H to Alaska) for the adapter and 28mm f2.5 (02B). Came with front & back lens covers and Adaptall-2 case. The bidding kept going up but I really had to get it since I didn't seem them come around often enough.
Hint: I recently obtained a Tamron Adaptall-2 80-210 f3.8 w/ Canon FD adapter (& Canon FD 50mm f1.8) for $25.20 (w/ S&H to Alaska). Apparently, the bidding was light because of the low demand for FD lenses.
At my local thrift store I also found another Adaptall-2 lens with a Minolta MD mount. Anybody need a Minolta MD mount? I can also include a very nice X-700 with it.

I have been very happy with the closeups I get with my W30. I bought for use in ocean kayaking but it also excels in many other uses. |

Thanks for the tip on Bing:
K20D from Abe's of Maine for $620 w/ free shipping to AK :D + $15 Bing Cashback
J&R only uses expensive shipping :fedup:which negated any higher Bing percentage
