PKA/RICOH LENSES

I know this has been covered elsewhare, but I would be grateful if someone knows if it is the Ricoh pin or the hole in the mount that fouls the af mechanism on Pentax AF SLRs. I have successfully removed the pin from a teleconverter but wanted to check, just in case.......

The pin gets stuck in the hole in the mount where the AF shaft is located. No pin = no problem.

Thank you

Ricoh lenses aren't at all bad, if it's an easy job to remove the pin, I should think it would be well worth the effort

The lens is a a Vivitar 2xmacro converter which has variable magnification up to 1:1 depending on the lens used. It works well and is worth saving I think

I have also have a Vivitar 28mm f2.0 which needs the same treatment. It should be a good standard lens on the istDS.
