Great quick video! You should do this with one of the older 6MP cameras like perhaps the Pentax * istDS2 for the sake of us Six-Megapixel Club members and anyone wishing to use vintage Pentax lenses on these older camera bodies. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll see if I can get around to a *istD tutorial!

Many thanks, I didn't realise I had to set TV mode for the green button to meter older lenses accurately, and boy I have a few lovely Ks and Ms. I feel more confident about using them now. Before, exposure was a bit off and I lost confidence. 'A' lenses have always worked fine with AV but great to be able to use my K 28mm 2.0 and K 35mm 2.0, thanks again.

p.s my K 35mm 2.0 has a distinctly yellow cast - Thorium, anybody? I thought about bleaching it with ultra violet light but... I kind of like the way it renders, and if I bleach it, there's no going back for another 50 years! I think I'll leave it and use software if it's too obvious, but so far so good.

Wow! Changed P line ->Tv shift on my KP. Green button works soo much better now since I can meter after selecting the desired aperture. Didnt know this option existed.... Thanks a lot! Subscribed.

And manual focus zooms? Input an average focal length? Say, 100mm for a 75 -150 zoom?

Are there any magnification tool to help with focusing when using the viewfinder?

I have a 200mm f5.6 Tele-Takumar manufactured between '65 - '69 SN 1705313. It has two aperture rings. The front ring is set to the f stop that you desire. The rear ring to allow focusing with the lens wide open. I follow the instructions in this video but the light meter does not activate. I can shoot in Aperture Priority mode.

Pentax took away the aperture ring, now I cannot use DSLR lenses on film cameras. Also, why does it have to be so difficult to use vintage lenses on DSLRs? I mean, it should be a matter of just switching to the M setting and having the exposure info available, like in a film KX. On a KX you knew how far off your exposure was and was quick to adjust. Why not have a dedicated DOF button? Metering was easy on the film KX even when using stopped-down metering. I could even use adapted enlarger lenses for macro, which I still do on my KX and MX bodies.

I guess pentax removed the aperture lever in the D-SLR to make users buy its digital lenses, because of the great ammount of K film lensens still around in the early 2000. And it's still on this politic, even on the too long waited full frame. It's such a mess, because nowdays almost nobody spends money into the diyng pentax system, at least if you don't have a some good K manual lensens to use on it. I really can't undestrand how terrible is the company strategy of Pentax from the '90. They destroyed a great company. Richo hasn't changed a lot in a while.

If only I'd get those M42 lens markings more or less centered... 🙂

I'm considering buying K-1 mark 1, what's the vintage lens compatibility with vintage Pentax K lenses? Any vintage Pentax K lens will work?
@PentaxTips9 ай бұрын
Yep and K-Mount lens from any brand will work. Pretty awesome, eh?

What about shooting with aperture priority mode with vintage glass?
@PentaxTips10 ай бұрын
Only works with m42 glass. K-mount will remain wide open until the camera stops it down

Does the in body image stabilisation system (K1 Mark II) work with vintage manual focus lenses?
@PentaxTips Жыл бұрын
Yep! In the video we show how to set the focal length so the IBIS knows how much to compensate!

Apologies. I should pay more attention. Thank you for your patience. I’m on the verge of coming back to Pentax after years of folly with other brands. I used Pentax in the early 1970s and ‘80s. Landscape and the prospect of astrophotography are something that I think the K1 Mark II should do well. Thanks again for such an informative video.
