When mounted in my old flash bracket, the flash refuses to communicate
with the camera. Nothing wrong with the cable.
I think the problem is that the flash bracket is shortening the contacts.
Does that sound like a good theory? And if so, what contacts do I need
to isolate to get what I want?

they indeed really are two different lenses.
my fisheye-like zenitar k2.8/16 no longer is very wide on the k10d,

after the zenitar my current widest is 28mm (FA* 28-70/2.8, M-28/2.8),

Set the K10D to digital preview, and take a preview shot. Then use the
up/down button to toggle between full histogram and RGB histogram. That
setting will be used for all instant review shots
Hmm... this kind of makes me wonder,
to turn the issue around, whether there exist people
similar to wine-tasters who can 'taste' from the image
such important factors as make, plant, focal distance,
aperture, whether it was a good year when the lens blossomed --
i'm aware that there is something
regarding metering selector the k10d layout
is then like MZ-5, not like MZ-5n. interesting.
The main difference is in control layout.
The MZ-5 has the metering selector around the exposure compensation
dial and the drive mode selector colocated with the on/off switch
around the shutter

I just subscribed to the list, essentially to ask the question below.
I recently got myself a K10d. When I use the kit 18-55 mm
and a FA*28-70 f/2.8 everything seems to work fine.
However, with my FA*80-200 f/2.8 (aperture ring set to A)
I seem to get consistent overexposure (2 stops or so?),
of a sticky aperture lever. Flip the lever
on the lens a couple times, if it's at all slow in returning, get the
lens CLA'd.
