Some early A series lenses were prone to failure of the aperture ring, but it isn't a general problem. I have only ever had one that failed and it was a very early SMC Pentax-A 50mm f/1.7 - the aperture mechanism fell apart.
Unfortunately I tried to fix it and was rewarded by a spray of springs and ball bearings that would not go back together again....we live and learn!

Even uploading at 800px doesnt stop the thieves. One photographer i know had a 500px image stolen and used on a pillow case which where being sold on ebay.

1. Shameless self promotion
2. If someone does steal my image as happens a lot, then they usually crop it out which increases any potential compensation i sue them for.
watermarking does not stop images being stolen or even helps sell that image...
