Hi
Welcome to this forum.
With older lenses without the "A" setting on the aperture ring you have to use stop down metering. Set the aperture you want on the lens, set the camera to manual mode, compose the scene, press the green button to set the correct exposure, focus the lens then press the shutter button.
Hope this helps

Welcome from Manchester. I went from SP1000 via bits and bobs to a K50 too. Still learning with it, but so far it's great.
Come and see the beautiful things I see in the ordinary world.
