Great subject choice as always (even the cat). I looked at the exif and
it appears that you didn't tell the K-5 the focal length of your manual
lens  & that might make a difference to the SR.


I finally figured that out... however... the lens I put on is a 50mm physically, but that means on a digital camera what you see is something like , um what? 80?

You need to tell the camera the actual focal length, not the 35 mm equivalent.



Now - the 50mm I used has an A on the barrel - that is, you can set it on A. The 28mm I have does not, and when I put THAT on the K-5 even with M set on both focus and mode nothing happened. Couldnt use it on the IstD either.

Anyone know if it is out of the question ? I couldnt find anything in the manual "attach a proper lens" didn't help much :-)


Not quite sure what you mean, but do you have "Using Aperture Ring" in Custom Menu No 27 set to "Permitted"?
