Hello everyone, I am sorry to write my first post as a new thread, but I have this problem:

I bought k200d about month ago and was very happy with it. After playing with the kit lens that came with it, I put it to a drawer, changed the aperture ring setting in custom menu to permitted and used the camera with my old manual K and M series lenses. Yesterday I finally managed to buy FA 50/1.4, which has an automatic aperture setting on the ring, and after I put it on and changed the aperture setting from permitted back to forbidden, my camera stopped working with automatic lenses. I tried to put the kit lens on my body, and I have the same problem. Nothing happens. Camera does work without lens (mirror moves, picture is taken), with aperture ring permited, but in this case both FA lens and DA lens do fire wide open, even when I am using manual mode. IE, I can't control aperture settings by body, which is a problem especially with DA lenses, which do not have aperture rings.

Anyway, I think it is body defect. But because I am not familiar with this camera very much yet, I'd like to hear your opinion on this matter. Maybe I just overlooked something. Or did any one of you experienced similar problem, is a cure for it?

Sorry again to bother with problems in my first post. I am looking forward to your answers and I hope next time I'll be able to post something happier than this
