Sure! I've been using these lens for 2 years.. The custom setting is still on 'permit using aperture ring'.

Yes, it works (with a 18-55mm). I also pulled the batteries but didn't change anything. However, batteries were running out of charge.. Now I'm charging another set to check if something change.

No, they don't seem to be dirty. It was the first thing I checked (i didn't know the 7th pin was involved, so I checked them all).

As far as I know, there's no auto ISO when using pentax-m lenses..
I noticed that in live view the stop down metering goes as expected. Turning off LV make the M mode functioning as usual without any problem. But when I turn off and then turn on the camera, it starts to behave as Av mode again. It seems there's something wrong with firmware.. Right?

Hi.. As I said in the title, I cannot stop down with any of my pentax-m lenses (50mm, 28mm and 135mm) on K-x. I used the camera some days ago and all went right as usual. This morning I switched on the camera and put it to M mode and.. it behaves exactly as Av mode: the lightmeter continues to meter even after I press the green button, regardless of the f-stop I select on the lens. It means the shutter time is updated anytime I change framing and/or iso setting.
Moreover, the lens is used always at max aperture. Exactly as Av mode with a pentax-m lens. But it clearly says M mode.
Now?

Thank you for your reply!
About the blue..Some days ago I noticed it's more purplish on my pc display, while it tends to green on another friend's display. But I can't afford a monitor calibration :( I can assure on my notebook is a slight grayish blue.
About ND filters.. as soon as I can, I'll buy some (both normal and graduated filters), expecially because I usually don't like hdr :)

First time here for me.. It was an impossible shot beacuse of the big difference between the sky and the rest of the subject. So, i shot 3 photos (-2, 0, +2) and then I made a hdr at home. The light was really low where I was (the sun was just behind the terrace, where you can see some silhouettes) giving a strange atmosphere. B&W with a blue tone is a try to recreate that atmosphere. C&C are welcome!

A Pentax user in Sorrento

Yesterday (3 Oct) I was in Sorrento (Italy) for a relaxing walk with my gf. There were lots of tourists (as usual) with a Nikon/Canon reflex and I saw some of them using the camera as a P&S (auto mode). Suddenly, I saw a.. a Pentaxian! It's the first time I see someone using a Pentax DSLR.
I was wondering if the person I saw is someone of you..

Stop-down problem with K-x

Yes, it still gives me 0.3". Maybe the correct behaviour would be to suggest the fastest shutter speed, not 0.3"! It seems I'll have to come to terms with that..
Thank you for your answers.

I tried to adjust ISO and aperture but it still gave me the same shutter speed. Adjusting it manually lets me to use the lens completely manually. I also noticed that the problem not always occurs: rarely the stop-down metering works as expected. It seems to be a kind of a bug. Is it possible?

Hello all..
I'm Italian and I know I can't speak english very well. I've just registered beacuse I have a great (strange?) problem about the stop-down metering ONLY at f3.5 and lowers with the 50mm pentax-m f1.7 and 28mmm pentax-m f3.5: when framing a very light scene (even a blue sky at noon!), I press the green button to perform the stop-down metering and the camera always suggests me 0.3" as shutter speed. The only way to use these lens at these apertures is to adjust the shutter speed manually, without rely on the exposure meter. Few days ago I updated the firmware (1.03), but I can't remember if I had this problem before.
I use only these lens (for study and work)... All suggestions are welcome!
