Is it something wrong with me? Because i dont see the point in a discussion? :lol: I'm allowed to have a rant here, just as everybody else :lol:
I am not here to make friends! I always speak from the heart and i dont sweet talk anything to please you or others. But that said, i have made many nice friends here. So you speak for everyone do you?
And why is it me and not you who should find the door? I've noticed, that you are not that good to make friends here either ;)
But Mr Know It All, if i bother you that much, just ignore my posts :)

Most photo forums have mega-posters who are self-appointed photography experts.They tend to have a posse of friends who agree with their particular opinions. They are generally alpha-dogs who don't like to be disagreed with and they will try to run you off their perceived territory if you challenge or offend them. Internet forums are strange social environments full of lonely isolated people. For some of them it is their only real social outlet. Pentax Forums is their tribe.
Personally I'd rather meet girls and take pictures!

Download to your computer and double click to execute the .EXE file. This should result in extraction of a .bin and a .txt file to the same directory. Copy these into the root directory of the SD card.

I had the same problem not too long ago. My solution was to buy some very cheap filters on ebay (~$1.50-$2 CAD).
When the cheap filters arrived in the mail, I just used the hard plastic case that they came in for my good filters.

Go to the buyer's profile page. Among the tabs (Guestbook, About Me, etc.; you may have to click the arrow at right to expand) is a Marketplace Feedback tab. You can leave it there.

Do you have a problem with a Tamron Adaptall PK/A adapter whose "A" functionality is not available or only if you do not completely mount the adapter to the camera, i.e., twist it back a little after mounting?
Chances are that it does not index on the body too far clockwise and that you can fix it within a minute.
The culprit may be one of the three screws which are fixed using a glue that electrically insulates them from the camera mount. If this is the cause of your problem then removing the glue from the end of the screw which is closest to the other electrical contacts (i.e., the top rightmost in the image below), e.g., with the tip of a knife, will make establish contact to the body mount again. This made my adapter work and I'm indebted to marvintm whose post "Re: How to fix bad Tamron KA mount" provided me with the solution.
However, since the illustrating images from his post are no longer available, I initially had trouble finding the screws. I finally found them and below is an image showing the location of the screw ends.
Contrary to marvintm's description, the glue on my screw end was not easily discernible by a light blue/green colour. I just lightly scratched on the screw end just in case and the adapter now works like a charm.
Good luck!
P.S.: This explanation of the KA-mount contains all the information required to know for which lens (minimum and maximum f-ratio) the pins should be shorted to the ground by the adapter. This should help troubleshooting if the camera doesn't use the correct aperture range. Note that the adapter does not fully support lenses with a minimum f-ratio slower than f/4 if the maximum f-ratio is f/22 and there is an "AE" setting or f/32 and there is no "AE" setting. Alternative explanations of contacts are Mark Roberts matrix metering mods page and this detailed explanation of the adapter contacts.
P.P.S.: You may want to try to convert a P/K adapter to one that supports P/KA functionality for a specific lens.
