Thinking about it that would be virtually impossible
Apart from a pull out mechanical pair of "fingers" that came out the adapter to rotate the front focus ring Thinking about it that would be virtually impossible
A job for Don maybe...
As John says, it'll be easier to switch to AF lenses!

The optics in the 1.7x AF do the AF
The lens just sits there without adjusting focus at all, and the 1.7x optics are moved to provide focus - I suppose doing focus at the back-end.
You gain 1.7x in focal length, and lose 1.7 f-stops for the privilege.
Other than that, it's a fine piece of Pentax glass and engineering

For receptions I use the 50/1.4 and the 100/2.8 macro. The 100mm gets used during the speeches, and the 50mm for almost everything else, with the 16-45 filling in where the 50mm can't reach
That doesn't make it any easier does it!

Definitely look at the K10D or K20D.
The K200D only has a pentamirror. The pentaprism cameras have a much brighter and larger viewfinder that you'll really appreciate

Actually, I'm rather liking the new "New Posts" link...
I can keep that open all the time in a Firefox tab and just refresh to see what's changed. Makes it MUCH easier to keep track through the day.
...now if only it could remember where I got to on each thread

Thanks for the clarification Don. I did suss out the lighting as I've used similar setups. It was more for those newer to lighting
EDIT: Maybe we should start a "shoe-string lighting" competition or gallery i.e. how to use tin-foil, pieces of polystyrene, window light and halogens.

Took a bit of "man looking" to find it! LOL!
But, yes, it's there (the text is red on black... which doesn't help).
