When I put either the FA28/2.8or the FA50/1.4 and use either the internal or a shoe-mount flash, the shutter speed goes to 1/25. But when I use an "A" lens it goes to the desired 1/180. Why?
The FA lens supplies more information to the camera and allows dynamic shutter speed adjustment when using flash. A series and earlier don't supply such niceties, and so the feature is disabled. I suspect Pentax could enable it if they desired, the A lens does transmit aperture, which is all that should be required, but they want to sell new lenses, and so disable some features.
