I've found the others to be almost, but not impossible to remove. Here's some test photos made with an old screw mount Macro Takumar: http://www.half-fast.com/Macro-Takumar/ With the exception of the "M" lenses, the K mount lenses all work fine with the Pentax DLSRs. The "M" lenses will work, but one has to do a lot of menu button choosing and pushing to do so.
