It's because the A50/1.2 actually *doesn't have* any minimum/maximum aperture contacts, just the single "A" (program/shutter-preferred) contact. So cameras can't tell the A50/1.2 from *any* K or M series lens. See the information on Boz's page at http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/extras/K-mount/Kaf.html >Perhaps the >PZ-1p is just different enough, compared to the ZX-5n, that it >doesn't have this problem.

It just behaves as if you've mounted a K-series or M-series lens. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
