Sorry if this has been posted before but a quick search did not show much.
With my older K mount lenses, whenever I turn on my camera (K100D Super) it asks for the focal lenght so Shake Reduction can be used. But testing an m42 screwmount with a genuine adapter, I don't get it and the SR off icon shows up. Can I have the SR work with m42s? if so, how?
Thanks,
it may be that it does not believe a lens is connected, since many M42 lenses are either painted/anodized bases which are insulating, or simply are too small a diameter to touch the pins and short them out.
I don't have a K100 so I don't know whether there is an option in the menus to permit this. SOmeone once referenced a function like use screw mounts but I don;t know if it applies.
