Info passed would be lens type number, focal length, zoom position , MTF and what ever else pentax has decided to add. Covering one digital pin will kill all the above info transfer so chances are lens won't auto focus either.
I cannot prove any of the above unless some one has a multi input logic analyser and data logger. Got all of this from pulling apart a sigma lens, using a logic probe and some guess work. james >Isn't there a pin/contact/whatever somewhere on the teleconverter >that you could cover with tape so that it did NOT pass focal-length >information? -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
