Thanks for the replies. I admit venturing into playing with the camera without finishing to read all the manual.
Indeed the aperture ring setting was missing
@Adam thanks for the focusing tips, really great features

Hello everybody,
I'm a previous user of K10, K5 and since recently of K1. I have some collection of manual focus lenses (CZJ, Takumars, few russian lenses and others).
I mounted on my K-1 a CZJ 50mm f1.8 (using Pentax genuine M42-K adapter).
I encountered the following issues:
- focus confirmation does not work(the viewfinder bottom hexagon does not light, no red center spot highlight either. Previously I turned the camera on switched to manual focus, select center spot focusing mode. Nothing
- no screen asking to input focal when turning the camera on
Despite this, I am able to take pictures.
I mounted an Agfa lens 50mm f1.9 (https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/10-pentax-slr-lens-discussion/225222-agfa...mm-f1-9-a.html). Same 2 problems as above plus the following:
- the F-- indication lights intermittently and I can take no picture when pressing the shutter.
Am I missing something?
The same lenses on K10, K5 work perfectly.
I start having remorse about spending 2000 euros for a camera that does not work as advertised. The possiblity to use my MF lenses collection was one of main purchase reasons.
Thanks in advance
