I did that very experiment with an old K-mount Chinon bellows, to make
TTL flash and snap-in focus work with the Z-series cameras. It works
fine on the *istD as well, so I think the anodized layer can be safely
removed.

Subject: 1.7x AF
I noticed my 1.7x AF converter doesn't autofocus with T-mount lenses.
It does autofocus with M-series lenses. The only difference I can
imagine is the K-mount on a M-series lens is electrical conductive
and
the T-mount is made of (isolating) anodized Aluminium.
I feel temped to use fine abrasive paper to remove the anodized
layer
on an old T-mount or short circuit two or more contact on the K
mount.
Would that make any difference? Maybe dangerous for the D body?
