EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED, SEE SOLDBEAS POST BELOW IF YOU'RE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS TC.
Would appreciate some insight from the folks here to know if I have a problem or not.
I recently picked up a
Vivitar MC Tele Converter 2X PK-A/R-PK. This version has the electrical contacts, which supports auto aperature.
What's odd, is I'm not getting a reading of the aperature in the top LED screen on my K20d. All I see is "F--". A common problem I've read.....but my issue is not quite the same as others.
Shooting in Av mode, I am able to adjust the aperature, and it is working, as I see the Tv changing to align. Also, after I take the shots and review the "info" in playback, I can see the aperature used....it is changing with wheel adjustment.
So, everything appears to be working, but I can't tell what aperature I am adjusting the lens to via the scroll wheel, as I do it. Only way to tell, is to review photos in playback after.
Note, this isn't the Marco version of the TC. I did crack her open, and all the springs are in place, and contacts all appear clean.
I did try searching the forums, and couldn't find a case of this exact prob. FYI, I also tried the TC on my back IST DL, and it's the exact same issue.
Is this standard for this TC? I may decide to sell this TC some day, and want to confirm if I have a problem, or not.
Cheers.
