Phenomenon

When some SIGMA interchangeable lenses for Pentax mount are attached to the PENTAX K-1,

the upper part of the mount can be scratched.

※This phenomenon is due to the interference with the shape of the upper part of the mount on the PENTAX K-1

camera body and it does not occur to any cameras other than PENTAX K-1.
