issue with K-5 iis & da 40mm xs

thank you excanonfd, you were spot on, the aperture lever on 40mm xs was bent and i came to know after comparing with lever on 70mm limited. Now can i use my bare hand and make it straight, and make it work - i dont remember bending or may be it was designed like that

Suggest how could i make it straight - but u guys are best - u found what problem was.....

Sorry guys - could not control myself, used bare hands and straightened the lever a bit - Bingo - it works now...

Thanks again and again - you guys are best !!!!
I really cant imagine the experience you have got - is unmatchable.... :adore:

UncleVanya - no change even in AV mode, it stays closed (not at 2.8, more likely 8 or more)

Hi UncleVanya
k-01 is set to Auto mode and k-5 iis is set to Green mode, but the 40m xs works fine on k-01 - but not on k-5 iis (basically aperture gets locked) - i have cleaned all contacts of 40mm xs and also k-5 iis.

my 70mm lens works fine on both k-5 iis and k-01

not sure what am i missing

Hi Pentaxians

I received my k-5 iis from Keh today and was happy with it by using da 70mm lens
Then I tried my 40mm xs which I purchased along with k-01

To my surprise, the aperture was not working on k-5 iis - and I was not able to take any picture.
I thought lens is not working - but when I used it on K-01 - it still works.
I know this sounds crazy - but I am going thro it
any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

I could be missing something

ha ha..
I found out that the grip was there like that for 3 or 4 oths and hence could be one reason for stay on..
anyway - no need for hammers / screw drivers ;)

thanks again - for all help / suggestions

Hi I own two takumars - 50mm and 200mm
I was using them on canon XT using adapter

recently I jumped to pentax club by purchasing K10d, I am asking for help to buy which adapter, lots of reviews on amazon mention that infinity focus is not possible on K10d with takumar
is it true
kindly guide me!!!!

Dudes !! (kcobain1992 and Quicksand)
thanks a lot for sharing the link and the encouraging words, I am speechless
I never knew the power of lens (in fact basically no impact of anything on dust)
I will wait for adapter and then let u know how my lens is

I am new to this forum not sure if this is correct place to ask this question
I recently bought Takumar SMC lens 50mm 1.4 lens in a garage sale for 40$, it seems to have some dust inside the lens.
(I cannot use the lens as I am waiting for eos adapter to fit onto my canon SLR, ordered adapter in amazon)
Should I just cancel my amazon order, is it worth it to use the lens with dust inside it, does dust matter
Thanks for any help / suggestion
