Interesting. The K100D certainly doesn't recognize an A lens off the A position. Perhaps this is inherent in the difference between the A's retractable A pin and the F and later's non-retractable one.
It also could be a difference between the K10D and other DSLR's. Most of the AF film bodies still recognize lenses off A. -Adam Jostein Øksne wrote: > You sure Godfrey? > I just tested my K10D, and it recognise all my FA lenses *and* the > Sigma AF with the aperture ring off the A position. > > Jostein > > On 12/5/06, Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>Yes, that's how my cameras behave. >> >>G >> >>On Dec 5, 2006, at 5:10 AM, Jostein Øksne wrote: >> >> >>>Do you mean that the camera doesn't recognise the lens if the aperture >>>ring is set to other than A? >> >> >>-- >>PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List >>[email protected] >>http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net >> > > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
