Hi
First post in this forum.

Recently got my first DSLR, my Pentax k-5.

Sorry for my english, maybe not perfekt but I hope I can make myself understood.

Yesterday I got some lenses for a very good price, like the Pentax SMC 50mm f1.4 prime, works perfekt in A-mode.

Also i got this Tamron telezoom, but I can't control the apperture.

Camera says F-- and i set for aperture ring mode in menu, then i can ues this lens, but only with aperture fully open.

If lens is detatched from camera, I can set aperture manually with ring, but when i mount it opens fully, even in "AE" mode, this lens use an adaptor saying "For Pentax K.M."

I was thinking if I can set manual aperture control in camera ?

The other solution I see is to cut the pin on the lens that controls aperture, and use it fully manual.

Other solutions for this ?
