Is it possible to let my camera. (Pentax K-5 II) to dial the aperturering? I know there is no auto(A) mark on the ring. Maybe a stupid q, but anyway.
The easiest way is to just look at the mount and see if there are contacts. If there are contacts, then it has an A setting hidden somewhere even if its not clearly marked.
Odds are if there is no A, then the aperture control is strictly manual though. Unless your lighting is changing drastically its really not a huge bother since you can set it and forget it for the most part. Stop down metering isn't all that difficult once you get the hang of it.
