I never sent mine in for repair. I requested a quote for repair - I think the initial amount was $350.00.

I realize this thread is a few months old, but I just discovered that my K-3 will not power on. I thought it might be the battery (Pentax) I was using, because neither my K-1 nor my K-01 would power on. I ordered a Wasabi battery and my K-01 will power on with it, but not my K-3. Ugh!

Thanks ripper2860! I saw an earlier post of yours in Pentax Price Watch about one of these available on ebay. I ended up getting mine on Etsy, of all places.

Thanks Na Horuk and Uncle Vanya.
Na Horuk, it is the "special version" - it has 2 aperture rings at the end of the lens (furthest from the camera). The inner ring has hard stops at each aperture, the out ring (the outermost ring, furthest from the camera) swivels to the largest aperture (in this case f4) and then swivels to a stop at the aperture selected with the inner ring. Yes, I think practice and experimentation is what is needed.
Uncle Vanya and Na Horuk, I guess the inner ring presets it, and then you open the aperture with the outer ring, and then twist it back to the stop at the selected aperture.
Thanks again. I will have to find some time to practice with it!

Thanks for the reply, Adam. So I set the mode dial to Av. Next I set the inner ring to my selected aperture, correct? Do I need to do anything with the outer ring (one farthest from the camera)? Thanks again.

I acquired a Macro-Takumar 50mm F4 (seen here - S-M-C/Super Macro-Takumar 50mm F4 Reviews - M42 Screwmount Normal Primes - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database) a few days ago and I've been attempting to use it on a K-3. I believe this lens is called a "preset" lens. There is no A/M switch. What is the exact order of steps (composition, focus, green button, etc.) that I need to take in order to get a proper exposure? I've read the Sticky on how to use manual lenses on Pentax digital cameras, but don't see where it addresses the preset lenses. I have it mounted on the camera with an original Pentax M42 to K mount adaptor. I have also set #27 in the Customization Menu to "Enable". Is there anything else I need to adjust (E-dial Programming, Button Customization, etc.)? Thanks, Sandra

I just acquired a Pentax-F 28-80mm off of eBay. It is the SMC version, and it was the only one available. There were plenty of the other variants of this lens available. I wonder why the SMC version is so hard to find? My copy appears to be a good one. The zoom is stiff, but that was disclosed by the seller. Just curious.

Hi towa,
I love the look of these two images (post 4532). Would you mind sharing how you went about post-processing? I would like to experiment with some of my images.
Thanks!
