Agreed, I guess when we get the “new and improved” we have to leave somethings behind. As a side note I was checking the exposure of my K10 to myMinolta Spotmeter F and there was a world of difference in some instances,seems like the K10 is not as accurate as I thought it would be being it’s a newercamera. It almost makes you miss the old needle meter that was in the olderfilm cameras like the K1000. It was an awesome visual reference for exposures. |

Too bad, it was a great feature! I used it shooting sports and it help out tremendouslyby eliminating the need to hand zoom to the same scene over and over

Thank you Ole and Adam for your quick responses, the firmware is 1.30, myold PZ1 had settings for these modes. I can’t seem to get the K10 / or the lensto Zoom Clip (not to worried about size tracking) using the buttons on the sideof the barrel of these lenses.

Does anyone know what settings to use to get the Power Zoom functionsto work using a K10D and the FA power zoom lenses? I’m using the SMC FA 28 - 105 and 100 - 300mmlenses. I read an article that stated the lenses will operate two of the modesavailable. These 4 options / operations are supposed to be available when usedwith the K10D
1. Power Zoom
2. Lens Retraction
3. Zoom Clip Mode
4. Image Size Tracking Mode
Any helpwould be appreciated. Thanks - B

Thanks anyway, I fudge it with exposure, but for fast night time shots itjust won’t work, back to the istD for those I guess. |

Thanks mattdm, I read thru that post and I was hopeful this could be assimple as a firmware problem but it looks like there are hardware issues due tothe lack of a TTL sensor in the K10D body...

Thanks vonBaloney I use it in Manual Mode with an SMC FA 100-300MM. I'm alsousing it with an off camera cord and adapter, this probably wont make adifference but sometimes these things are quirky

I’ve owned and shot them all. I have to say using lensesfrom 20 years ago today is awesome. What the “other guys” don’t realize is Pentaxhas only had one major mount change, from a screw mount to the ever lovedK-mount (variations yes) and we can even use the screw mounts on our cameras too.
When I taught photography I groomed many Pentaxians in theclass room, but never put down the other cameras that were there also. I guesswe are a more humble breed of photographer. When I educated my class on the benefitsto shooting a Pentax they were sold. The camera of choice was the K1000 (I taughtduring the film era LOL)
I would hear the occasional debate on what camera was betterbut quickly dispatched any disagreements with my speech that a camera was justan expensive hole, the glass in front and the eye in the back is what makes agreat photograph.
I am proud to shoot my Pentax and you couldn’t pry it frommy cold dead fingers, that said shoot on my fellow Pentaxians and spread theword.

Will the AF-500-FTZ TTL when used with the K10D? It seems to fully discharge no matter what the lighting situation.
