Hi Aleksandar, Congratulations on finding a second-hand MZ-S!
2) When using old screw mount Takumars with original Pentax screw mount adapter, I don't have focus confirmation at all - why is that? I can't remember where I read it, but I think that the focus confirmation only works with lenses faster than f/5.6. With a true K-mount lens, the body uses the aperture lever to open up the diaphragm while focusing, so the focusing works regardless of what you set the aperture at. However, I imagine that if you use an adaptor without aperture coupling, and stop down below 5.6, the camera sees a fixed aperture lens that's slower than f/5.6, and focus confirmation system doesn't work. > AF is louder, hunts more and sometimes (rarely, but it happens) when it > says it is in focus, it actually is way off If the focus seems "way off" in the finder, shoot a couple of pictures anyway and see how they come out. You could have a misaligned mirror or a faulty dioptre correction. Also have a look at what PF 8 is set to, as this controls AF fallback (1= use neighbouring sensor, 2 = don't use neigbour if can't lock on selected sensor). The AF could be failing on your selected sensor, falling back to the neigbouring one, and focusing on whatever's in that. Hope you enjoy the camera, -- Kristian - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
