I finally dredge up enough motivation to actually go out and do some
photography. Got on site & my favorite lens takes a crap on me.
My workhorse has been a Tokina ATX-Pro 287 28-70mmf/2.8. I got two
frames & camera won't fire the shutter. Aperture shows "F--". I do
everything I can to make sure the lens is properly seated & that the
aperture ring is latched into the 'A' position ... NO JOY! Nothing I can
do will make it show the aperture.
I have one other 'A' lens (SMC Pentax-A Macro 1:2.8 100mm) in my bag on
site, & when I switch to it the aperture works fine. I also try both
lenses on my K10D (backup) and get the same results; Tokina "F--" &
Pentax shows the aperture selected with the thumb-wheel.
I'm back home & I've got a couple of other Pentax auto-focus 'A' lenses
to test with. They all show the aperture & change with the thumb-wheel.
And just to add insult to injury, I give the Tokina one last try & now
it's showing the aperture again.
Meanwhile, every bit of motivation has drained away!
