Good evening all,
My name is John, long time reader, first time poster so I hope one of you fine fellow Pentax people can help me.
OK the line up looks like this;
- Pentax ist DL set to MF and with Allow Appature Ring in the setup
- Soligor 500mm Mirror Lens (With three F-stops or ND filters if you like.
The Problem:
Basically I cant get the damn thing to recognise focus.
As I said above, the camera is set in MF, no matter what I do I cant get the green focus alert to come on. Interestingly, I thought I would try trap focusing it, but when I switch from MF to AF, it just stays in MF.
I have used an Asahi 50mm 1.7 MF with no problems, beeps away to its hearts content.
Anyone know why this is and any work arounds?
Cheers
Moose
