Hi need some advice i have a 18mm 70mm vivitar lens. I thought i try it out on my k5 but doesn't seem to work with the camera. The camera is flashing the f - - sign.

Can anyone tell me what this means. And is it possible to use this lens on my camera it does fit but being a beginner I'm a bit lost. Thank you.

Thanks for all your support and suggestions, i will keep them in mind, But at this moment i wait till i recovered from my operation and look into it further.
it looks like i will probably go for a better lens to do this kind of work.
there's not to many honest people sometimes at theses stores
but im sure i will find the right lens.
Thanks again to all that has commented..

Thanks
I would like to take photo's of insects with this lens
if its possible, I was surprised when i went to the store as most of them where professional photographers And didn't give me any suggestions. Do you think the lens i have is a good one it has no scratches or fungus on it at all ( 72m Sigma Zoom 1;4 -56 f=28 - 200mm multi coated lens ) and can i put extension tubes on it ...

Hi to all

I'm a total beginner and would like to ask anyone with the knowledge

Wanted to ask I'm interested in macro photography and i have an Manual Sigma Zoom 18mm 200mm macro lens. When going to the store all they seem to want to do is for me to spend more money on a lens and not giving me any alternative ways round it, do you think i could use some extension tube's onto this lens. I'm a complete novice to SLR'S

I've just bought my new Pentax k-5. plus kit. I totally love it.

They have told me that the sigma lens is in great condition but suggested i go and spend another £500 on one of there lenses i don't have that budget at the moment as i have to go in for a major op this Thursday on my back,

Any help would be much appreciated..
Thanks

Hello to everyone,
I'm really pleased with my new Pentax k5 although i have a'lot to learn, As I'm a total beginner. There is one question how long do you have to charge the battery the came with the Pentax k5. can't seem to find the answer.
Also wanted to ask I'm interested in macro photography and i have an old sigma 18mm 200mm macro lens. When going to the store all they seem to want to do is for me to spend more money on a lens and not giving me any alternative ways round it, do you think i could use some sort of attachment onto this lens. I'm a complete novice to SLR'S Any help would be appreciated.
