Originally posted by alvarossorio I have recently adquired a Pentax istD camera and I do not get focus confirmation with my also recently adquired Takumars. I use the original K to M42 converter.
I do get focus confirmation on my K10 though. I wonder if any istD user could help me.
Thank you.
I use the
K100 not the istD, but the folowing may apply:
"Two custom settings are needed to change in order to get AF confirmation as well as metering with the manual lens.
FL (focus lock) with S lens used
default is 'Not Available, you need to turn this to 'Available' so that AF confirmation can be obtained in M42 lens
Using Aperture Ring
default is 'Prohibited' and you need to turn this to 'Allowed' so that aperture can be metered in stopping down with the M42 lens."
Good luck!
