Originally posted by gaweidert I have had the same problem with most of my shots. No idea why. Even the mods can't do it. I though that I had worked out a procedure that worked a few times, but now that doesn't work either.
I like the images. Old glass is fun to play with. Once in awhile you find a real gem.
I only own one modern lens. Its a DA WR 18-135mm. All the rest are manual primes mainly.
I really like my old Pentax m42's and K mount lenses along with some of the Rikenon XR's and P series lenses.
Glad I came here anyway as I found a man named Eric Hendrickson that does lens repairs and adjustments. Just sent him my SMC K 24mm for infinity stop adjustment , and a SMC A 24mm that is missing a tiny contact spring.
Cant wait to get them back to try on a Brand new K-1 in the box that I just purchased yesterday from my Employer real cheap ($1200). It is 6-8 months old at least and hasn't even been used for one single shot as he partially switched back to Nikon. It looks like a fantastic camera and he says it actually is amazing. But its way to BIG to me anyway , but I will give it a tryout and see the FF results before I decide if I'm going to keep it or not.
In the meantime I just keep using my APSc Bodies that I absolutely love and the K3 and K3II leave nothing to be desired by me at all.
