PK(A) - Q adapter

I bought one of theses link from this seller yesterday for £5.50 in an auction, the interesting thing is that it can control the aperture like the Pentax one (I think!)

link to site: BIN price £26.99 + shipping/insurance

Please could you let us know how you get on with it Ken

Dave

no point linking to an auction that's closed

. I will, Dave, but I'd imagine it'll take a couple of weeks to arrive

Well it has just arrived. Initial impression is that it is a well made precision piece of kit. It acts a bit like a pre-set lens you set the control ring to 'on' to open up the lens and turn it to 'off' to stop down to the aperture selected on the lens. 'Open' & 'Close' would be better but no big deal.

On the box it says product designed in Halifax, made in PRC., since its made by Kiwi fotos I'm guessing Halifax New Zealand.

I just need to find the time to try it out. Less than a week delivery from China is impressive.

I'm interested, have you had a chance to try it out yet?

Me too

Noy yet

You said in a previous post " It acts a bit like a pre-set lens you set the control ring to 'on' to open up the lens and turn it to 'off' to stop down to the aperture selected on the lens." Does that mean you can not use it with lenses without an aperture ring i.e. DA's

Barrie,you could use it with a DA by turniing the ring part way but you wouldn't know exactly what aperture you were using. I think the 'A' in the name is a clue to what works best. I'm guessing the Pentax one works in a similar way but it has a scale which is presumably in stops.
