Originally posted by HoutHans Some images taken with the M100/4 macro. I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask, but I was wondering whether anyone else also has this: My K-50 behaves really strange when I put my M100/4 macro on it (no other manual lens elicits this behaviour). It sometimes actuates the shutter even when the object is not in focus (despite CIF enabled); the mirror flips more than its supposed to; sounding almost as if I'm using live view even when I'm not and it tends to freeze so that I have to take out battery to unfreeze it again and then it may start up without asking for the focal length to be dialled in. It's more of a nuisance than anyhting else, but I'm wondering whether this happens more and what could be done about it. I'll also ask in the K-50 forum.
Anyway, there are the images courtesy of a cold and frosty morning:
Great shots first off.
Second - I mainly use a K-50 with many non-A lenses (Ms, Ks, Taks...). I have used an M100/4 a few times but it was short lived. I do use the K100/4 Macro...
That it fires at times with catch in focus is enabled - I've had this happen yes but I seldom use cif.
That whole mirror up and having to turn off the camera - never. I reckon you have the setting on for shooting w/o contacts, otherwise you'd be unable to even use an M series lens...
Do you have another tele or another heavy contc-less lens in your arsenal that you can compare it with?
