I was going to let this pass, but I don't believe that Minolta ever made
K mount lenses as they had their own SR mount for their manual focus
cameras. They changed the mount completely when they moved to Autofocus
though they had a transitional SR mount camera with electronic focus
assist, much like the ME-F. There may have been a plan to create AF
lenses to work with it like the ME-F, or not.

I'm not sure what the context is for this question. You may have me
confused with someone else on the Pentax list. However, I do know
that there are some Minolta K-mount lenses that, when mounted on a
Pentax, cannot be removed without disassembling the lens.

the problem is the adapter is on the camera and can't be removed
(because of the springy thing you have to push with your fingernails to
get it off) without unscrewing the lens first. we tried using a feeler
gauge to touch the "release" pin just outside the threads (to release
auto to manual) but it seems to be stuck, perhaps in one of the screw
holes on the adapter. anyway, any tips are appreciated.
