Dear customer, Thanks for this question, we already did instruction picture and tips for "how to remove the lens adapter", plz see the instruction picture in the "Product Description".Hope it helps 

yes, the ballhead could be remove 

Yes, you can remove the micro SD from the adapter and use it in the switch 

Please note: our M42 adapter ring could not be suitable for Pentax Takumar Super Takumar Carl Zeiss M42 series（aperture pin does not fully depress, small tabs sticking out), as ours depresses the aperture pin all the way down

 

I actually have not received this adapter yet. It's shipping from China. Don't think that was disclosed in the ad. However, I do not believe this is for the Pentax Q body rather for digital and film cameras that take the Pentax K mount in its many variations. So I'm expecting to be able to mount my Leica M mount lenses on my digital and film Pentax K mount cameras, no autofocus or relay of exposure information, only to be used with manual focus and exposure.
