I don't know what it does but it is there on mine too so I would leave well alone.
Best wishes, Kris.

Excuse my ignorance but what is the "K10D Grand Prix"? I assume some special edition, but what is special about it?
Cheers, Kris.

As always, Dimitrov has a good set of pages about it:
Dimitrov's k-mount pages
In short, the lack of a lever and aperture ring on the FAJ and later lenses, and some camera bodies, means that some of the functionality and compatibility we are so fond of boasting about is lost. For example, if you put an FAJ lens on a Pentax LX there is no way of changing the aperture and so you have to use the lens wide open.
Hope this helps. Best wishes, Kris.

I remember from my cookery class some 25 years ago that the food was varnished (and I do mean varnished, not glazed in the cookery sense) before being photographed and the ice in the drinks was blocks of acrylic. Soufflés and the like were stuffed with cotton wool...
Not much help really but it put me off photographing my supper.
Cheers, Kris.

These lenses average at about £90 on ebay so I think you'll be lucky to get much interest at that price.

The lens I always wanted for my KM was the old M or A 20mm/F2...
Best wishes, Kris.
