Does the 67 --> K adaptor allow aperture automation? I had the K-500 once, and the stop-down metering made it awkward in use. Other than that, I think the medium format optics deliver quite well on K-mount in general. But the weight of it... Jostein Den 02.06.2017 19.06, skrev Gonz:

I know the 400mm works well on kmount, At least at 16mp. I have read that the 600mm is softer so it might not be so hot on a smaller sensor. The price is pretty good on those though. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from

A few years ago, probably yet before the digital version of 645 came out, I was thinking similar thoughts about adapting lenses from the medium format to an APS-C (K-7 or K-5). Someone (I suspect it may have been Bill here) pointed out that the resolution at which the medium-format lenses

Stuck Battery In Pentax Q

The short sides are stuck as well. All I can do is get a small needle down the corners, where the battery is slightly rounded but the compartment is square, but that doesn't allow for any leverage. On 6/2/2017 5:54 PM, Jostein Øksne wrote: Ouch. Did you try a pair of needles or pointy blades

If the freezer doesn't shrink the battery I might try this approach, though I think I'd prefer Paul's idea re gluing a handle to the battery. The problem with that approach is that the battery surface is small and a miscalculation on the amount of glue would probably just glue it in place. I
