mspoon. If you follow the link in my earlier posting to:- http;//support.pentaximaging.com/node/1280 and follow the instructions exactly (set green button to Tv SHIFT, Using Aperture Ring Enable, camera set to Manual and set the iso to say 400 not as auto) it all should work. When you press the gren button the camera will shut the aperture down to what ever you have set the lens at and the viewfinder display will show what speed the photo will be taken at when you press the shutter button. At no time do you ever see a variable light meter indication that you can alter up and down. The only way to alter the exposure is to then manually set the speed up or down if you think the camera speed selection is not quite right.
Hope this helps.

Adam, thanks for the help.
I finally found the article below which explained it all. Namely assigning Tv SHIFT to the green button in M mode.
Also very important is to set ASA speed in M mode (to say 400) as if it is left as auto M becomes Av!
The light meter does not actualy display but the speed changes to the correct speed when the green button is pressed.

I tried the sugestion below but when in M with a manual lens the K30 does not display the light meter in the view finder and when the depth of field button is presed the shutter closes down but no information is displayed in the view finder.
Pressing the green button does not help.
Any othe ideas?

I have bought a Pentax K30 and am having trouble using my manual SMC Pentax f4 300mm lense getting the light metering to work. The local agent can't help! Any ideas please?
