Thanks for the detailed response.

Wel!, there is no 'A' pin to extend / retract!! Looks like a prior self repair attempt.

Will take it to my local shop.

Here is my problem with a smc pentax A50 f/1.4 mounted to a k-5ii.
- lens aperture ring allowed, camera body focus switch in M, mode switch in M
- aperture on lens set to any non 'A' value, compose & focus, green button to meter, and shutter release - works
- aperture on lens set to 'A', mode switch to 'Av' - the rear wheel does not change the aperture value nor does the lcd show the aperture value - am I wrong to expect to see the aperture display in the lcd, or is my lens not working as it should?

Cheers
