Hi everyone, I was having problems with the K20D and the Pentax 18-250. I purchased a Sigma 18-200 which works fine. Since then I have purchased a K70 and have been using the Sigma lens. Today I retrieved the K20D with the Pentax 18-250 from my bottom drawer and put the lens on the K70. Would you believe it works fine 🤗 I think the K20D and the Pentax 18-250 need some lessons in communication. All I can figure is that they are having a family (Pentax family), quarrel and are not communicating 🤐🤐

I have a problem with my K20D and the Pentax 18-250. The lens aperture does not stop down when taking a photo. It has never corrected itself. The aperture works when you push the lever on the base of the lens manually but stays wide open when you take a photo in all modes. I have ried everything I can think of. I have also tried the camera with another lens and it works fine. I have tried the lens with another K20D and it has the same problems. So I believe the problem is with the lens. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone can help me????
I have a pentax K20D and am having problems with the aperture not stepping down when I take a photo or I use the DOF preview. It stays open at the maximum. I have taken the lens off and I can manually move the lever which seems normal. When I use the DOF preview the lever in the camera moves as normal. I have put on an old manual 50mm lens and everything works fine. ie DOF preview, exposure, ect.
I have looked at the aperture levers in the lens and everything works fine.
Has anyone an idea what could the problem be??
Looking forward to your input.
Wazza

I love the colour as much as the specifications. What a great camera.

Hi, My name is Wazza. I thought it was time to introduce myself. I have logged on to the pentax forums a few times and have enjoyed everyone's beautiful photos as well as the technical info which has helped me a lot. :)
Lately I thought I might get back into some macro photography so I attached my old screw mount lens (50mm 1.4) to an old extension tube and an adapter ring to fit my K20D. I managed to be able to get it working on aperture priority and went outside this morning to take a couple of snaps of flowers. I was pleased with the result as i stopped it down and took it at 1/200 (hand held) because the wind was blowing slightly. Nothing flash but I hope you like it.
By the way the lens and the extension tube was from my father's old Spotmatic (1967) I think. Also the yellow line in the photo is a cobweb covered in pollen.
Have a great day :)
