well lucky for me a friend had a 50 1.7 that he gave me it was a m42 so i had to buy an adapter no biggie, the camera store guy told me that i would have to do everything manually because of the adapter, fine but when i take photos it seems to take forever for the pic to take ? im guessing the shutter is very slow im not sure what i need to do any ideas ? i have the ring on the lens setting to 1.7
pentax ist dl yashica 50 mm 1.7 with adapter for this m42 lens

great example i looked around but i seem to still be a bit confused i will read a little more on these lenses i don't know what brands to look for or to stay away from a few i found on here
[URL="https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/photographers-marketplace/55329-cosina-50mm-f1-9-a.html"] seems to be the only one in that range. this is great i thought there was less then this looking in from the outside, i have worked with alot of photographers and they make it look so easy but now i can really appreciate their skill, i am really looking forward to this challenge. i did get a lens from a pawn shop today it was $20 brand new still in the box 70-210mm f4.0-5.6 quantaray brand looking on craigs list and ebay right now for the suggested lenses what would i use the one i just bought be good for ?
thanks again for the help

New to photography i do know how to use photoshop very well but i would like to learn how to photograph an object that is in focus but the background is somewhat out of focus or softer i can do it with photoshop but i was wondering how to do it with the camera is it a special lens, mode, or what ?
thank you for any advice
