I started dismantling my copy the other day and quickly got out of my depth. I started by carefully putting different groups of screws and pieces in individual sections of a muffin tray, but they say there for a couple of weeks before my wife decided she wanted to bake muffins. The pieces are now dumped together in a carrier bag in the drawer. Goodbye 06!
One thing I noticed is that one of the ribbon cables had a small tear in the edge that went through one of the metal 'wires'. This could be something unique to my copy and of course something I did whilst disassembleing, but worth mentioning. I'd be interested if your copy has this issue?
PS - if you live in the UK so shipping is practical you're welcome to have my bag of 06 bits.
Thanks

Thank You! It was nice and quiet there but I imagine it's heaving peak season. I was also lucky to get some 'clean' shots. The 03 is made for that place :-)

Hi, I'm late to this one but wondering if anyone managed to fix this issue with the 06?
It's a long shot! (Pun intended)
Thanks

They should release a really fast short telephoto lens. Something like a 20mm f1. That would be awesome.
What they shouldn't do is ditch the current line for a 'Q2' type release with a micro four thirds sensor, meaning existing lenses are obsolete. They wouldn't, would they?

2015 eclipse from Altrincham, Manchester at about 0928 GMT, 21/03/2015. Q10 with 06 with ND filter on. Fairly heavy adjustments in Lightroom but I haven't added anything that wasn't there.

Wow! what a great forum - thanks everyone.
I think my lens is going to stay intact for the time being and I'll get used to using the green button... although I might reach for the tin foil as Asahiflex suggests. If anyone has any more experience of this mod I would appreciate it, for example how to ensure you don't get bits of tinfoil all over your sensor!
thanks

Hi All,
I have a Pentax K10d and have recently picked up some old K mount lenses. I'm aware of the restrictions when using K lenses with the K10d's 'crippled' lens mount - in order to use anything other than the fastest aperture, you need to be in manual mode and ether aperture preview then meter manually using the cameras display, or press the little green button which makes the camera perform the aforementioned process automatically over about a second.
Although this is ok, it's a little cumbersome and slow.
As an alternative, I was wondering if it's possible to remove the pin from the lens that allows the camera to control the aperture (the spring loaded one at the side of the mount). This way, surely I can put the camera in AV or full auto mode and use the aperture wheel to control the aperture and the camera will meter properly because essentially the lens will always be in aperture preview mode. The only drawback I can see is that if I set the lens to a slow aperture things will look very dark through the viewfinder. I don't see this as a massive issue though considering I'm only likely to use slow apertures in very bright, outdoor situations.
Will this work, or just break my lens?
thanks
