Just thought about this... Is is possible to mount KAF and KAF2 lenses on a KA mount and use them as a manual lens? Would be quite good if I could put newer lenses on my old cameras as I wouldn't need to have an AF set and a manual set.

I've had no problems using newer lenses on k1ooo's, super programs, etc.
as long as the lens has a focus ring and an aperture ring on it, it'll behave like a manual lens. (I've in school, this year used my 28-200, 28-70, 400mm, on older bodies with no probs.)
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

That is what I thought as the mount is the same shape and old lenses work on new bodies. Now all I need is a few FA primes... Well, I can dream for now... LBA is going to be quite severe.
