Just found this forum and it is amazing! My problem: I bought a Pentax K-50 body only from B&H Photo. I planned to use my old K-1000 lenses with it. I have checked youtube and found out how to make the adjustments to the camera to accept the old lenses but the aperture does not change. The viewer just has "F---" and when I move the aperture, nothing changes. Am I doing something wrong or is that just how it is going to be? Appreciate any help. Thanks.
That's how its gonna be. However, all you have to do is put the camera in M mode and press the green button. It will take a meter reading and set the shutter for you.
