They're fully compatible with the DSLR bodies with respect to all
auto-exposure modes.
The SMC Pentax-A 28mm f/2.8 lens is a wonderful little lens. It's
small and light, slightly soft until stopped down to f/4 but has
wonderful bokeh. It was the first Pentax lens I used when I purchased
the *ist DS body in 2004.
Hmm. Now it's sounding more interesting. I just purchased a *ist DS. May
not be able to tell the difference between soft and sharp, but at this
point would prefer sharp.
Is this one in a series of lenses, i.e., are their Pentax-As o other
focal lengths?
It actually only covers medium format adapters that allow those lenses
to work on a K Mount body. The discussion of K mount electronics from A
onward is applicable, but you have to make allowances for the somewhat
different mechanical connections. .
Yes. You should check out Bojidar Dimitrov's Pentax K-Mount Page. It
has all the information you can possibly need about Pentax Kmount
cameras, lenses and accessories. It covers film (35 mm and medium
format) and digital camera systems.
