there is only one locking pin,
the other "thing" is a screw-drive AF spring loaded shaft , can be retracted with AF/MF switch ( next to it ).

Probably not my favorite tripod combo any more but K-01 is still definitely head turner while you walk around with LCD loupe / hood attached. :cool:

Plastic lens mounts -UPDATE- it's not the mount

I never heard about problem like that.

I have large number of lenses with plastic mounts and never had any issues with using them.
The oldest one is probably silver FA 100-300 , so it is rather biggish lens , still going well and strong.
All my Nikon Z lenses have plastic mounts , also some Fuji,
all of them are doing well.
I am very careful and precise while changing lenses.

I just took my K-1II + couple of manual SMC old prime lenses and it works well , no problems.
Are you sure that the AF/MF switch ( located just under AF MODE button ) is definitely in AF ( Green ) position?

I purchased most of my Pentax and Sigma etc gear from them , although directly - not via Amazon,
and never had any issues.
They are after all the official Pentax / Sigma etc sole Australian distributor and importer.

Is your lens has a standard M42 mount?
It looks very different to the lens my friend has.
I can not see Auto / Manual switch on your photos?
What are those 3 brass contacts / pins for , the purpose ?
kind regards

Message from Peak Design

I did get a message from Peak Design:

Hi . Peter here, our founder and CEO.

Like so many around the world, we are gutted by Russia’s violent invasion of Ukraine. It’s almost incomprehensible that so much death and pain is being inflicted all for the sake of one man’s ego. Or ‘legacy’. Or something that feels unconscionable to the rest of us. The news is moving fast and specifics feel fluid, but we have identified a few places where we think we can make a difference, even if it’s small:


1. We are collecting all of our EU returned bags and getting them to refugees who are arriving in Poland. Our Polish distributor is helping to coordinate this effort. Our hope is that these gently used bags prove useful for those who have had to flee their homes and homeland.


2. Any photojournalist/journalist on the ground will have full access, for free, to any Peak Design gear that can be useful in sharing critical information about this war. If you know anyone working in Ukraine, please email
ukrainesupport@peakdesign.com. Logistics are obviously very difficult at a time like this, and we will be working with our fulfillment companies and our distributors in adjacent countries to make this gear available and accessible.


3. We have ceased sales to Russia, both on our website and via wholesale distribution. Our 3rd party European warehouse has ceased shipping product to Russia, a move which we did not instigate but falls in line with our decision. It was a tough decision that immediately affects our Russian customers and partners. But we think all responsible businesses should exert pressure wherever possible to condemn Putin’s unhinged campaign of violence.


Our expertise is product design, not geopolitics, but we believe that businesses should embrace the urge to help and speak up in whatever capacity that they can.

Peter Dering
PEAK DESIGN FOUNDER & CEO
