I have a Penax K-X and just received a Ricoh Rikenon XR 50mm f/1.7 that I bought from a forum member (great transaction!). From what I've read, this doesn't have the Ricoh pin issue to worry about.
From what I've learned, this is a manual lens. After I mounted it, changed focus to MF, and set my K-X to M, it won't take any pictures. Setting to any other shooting mode, it shows as being in Av but still won't shoot any pictures.
The LCS shows the ISO and Aperture is a blinking "F---", which I expected since I don't think it will show the aperture.
Does anyone know if there's any other settings that I need to make or any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Lester
