No issues with the adapter routinely using with either the 21mm D-FA f2.4, 50 mm FA f1.4, or the 100mm DFA f2.8 macro on an A7R V.

Pentax is not the only brand with flash issues. Nikon discontinued their SB-500 and suspended orders of their SB-5000 in January. Wonder if these flashes are all coming out of the same factory with custom tweaks to the cases and electronics elsewhere?

My Tamron 70-200 F2.8 isn't supported so no autofocus, but the aperture control works - meters and stops down correctly. I emailed Monster Adapter about the possibility of this lens and the PLM 55-300 getting support in the next update and sadly they aren't in the list at this time.

I don’t do video, so can’t answer that

I use my DFA 21 on my A7RV using the adapter, haven’t noticed any awkwardness. Lightroom properly recognizes the lens for corrections even though the image is a Sony raw file.

About as much chance as a 6x9 format GR digital, but we can dream

Any chance of support for the Tamron 70-200 f2.8? Or the PLM 55-300?

Or set your camera to use back button focus - not the shutter release. Set your focus, then use your remote to take the picture

Mine arrived last week with v03 already installed. I sent them an email about focus bracketing, no response yet. I wonder how much info they have from Sony on the mount electronics and if it even possible.

So far so good on an A7r V. Using my full frame Pentax lenses 21mm, FA-50 f1.4, 28-105, 100 macro, and 150-450. Only real issue is no focus bracketing with this adapter mounted - not unique to this adapter. Sometimes I have a little focus hunting in dim light, but easily corrected.

Even if you spend $300 on repairs, you will know what you have and what works. An ebay purchase in good, usable condition is based on the seller’s description and no guarantee that you will end up with less money invested to have a good working sample.

Try pushing in on what is left of the pin and see if closes down the aperture. If not, there may be some Dremel cooties inside :-(

Have you tried the pixel shift mode with your monochrome K3 to see if that furthers the noise reduction?

Here is a link to a Chinese language forum that hints (with samples) at an upcoming monochrome K3iii K-3 Mark III Monochrome
Note - requires translation

Plus there are hints of the monochrome version of the K3iii being close to release. The Chinese xitec Pentax forum has a post purportedly showing comparison images at both high and low iso, along with the the hint on the latest WiFi Commander release notes.

Thank you. Just downloaded and installed the 64-bit version on my M1 MacBook Pro running Windows ARM in Parallels. Recognized my K1 WIFI and appears functional

Continue to be amazed at the AF improvements in this camera - No additional sharpening or noice reduction ISO 6400 F4.6 1/2500 shot through window glass. DNG converted in Lightroom Classic. Focus was not fooled by the branch in front of the bird

Any update on the release of the graduated neutral density filter option outside of Japan? Any reviews since the initial announcement?

If you have access to a battery grip (bg-6), will it fire from the vertical position button? That would narrow the problem down to the normal release button. Likewise, will if fire from the connected phone app (ios or android)?

Maybe some visual hints or prototype under glass in late January or February with a late spring to early summer release cycle would be nice and follow the original K1 release schedule.

Lucky to even read the sd card files in 25 years, let alone 100. 25 years ago 5.25 inch and 3.5 inch floppies/diskettes along with cd roms were the norm, not much call for that hardware now.

Just confirmed that neither my K1 or K3iii recognize the function with my 100mm SMC D-FA 100 Macro - the option is greyed out on both bodies with the latest firmware.
