I don't know why they are calling the 150-450mm their highest zoom ever. I own a Pentax Zoom takumar that is 135-600mm F6.7. Even though mine is a screwmount, they made the same lens available in K mount back in the 70's jco On 2/5/2015 12:52 PM, P.J. Alling wrote: I don't know, this time

Add a second wheel, (where the front wheel is on the *ist and KD and K series cameras), and have the firmware default to aperture ring aware when the lens is off the A setting and the change would be minimal. It would be 99% an MZ-S. On 2/4/2015 6:09 PM, Mark C wrote: 1. Mz-S: My most used
