Doesn't sound right to me on either count, sadly
Maybe try upgrading firmware from Pentax web-site, and hope that it is a 'glitch' in the loaded software etc rather than a hardware fault.

Edit: perhps ring Pentax first and ask would it be ok to try the firmware update and if that doesn't work to then get the camera changed.

Hi,
My twopennyworth...
Often with bellows, one reverses the lens (eg a 50mm lens). My understanding is that this improves the quality of the optical path because a standard lens is designed to have a greater subject to lens distance than the lens to film/ sensor plane distance. So by reversing it on bellows you are allowing that to happen again. This means that what you now need, in addition to the M42 -k bayonet for the camera end of the bellows, is a reversing ring from M42 to whatever the filter thread size of your lens is.
So, if using your K-mount lens, you then adjust the aperture by rotating the ring on the open end of the lens, and the lens will shut down accordingly.
Hope this helps

8 out of 10 for me!
The BMW threw me, and I thought the peppers were CG.
Amazing quality

I can see a place for both the slide show, and the stills. The important thing is the quality of the photos - and they look good to me!there is no "one size fits all" right answer.

Well said, John!
Whilst have found them often lacking in Pentax gear so one can 'handle it', etc, I have nevertheless benfitted from their price matching policy and other bargains over the years!

You might like to have a look at the one mentioned
https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1213&highlight=istd+power+supply. It has 6.5v output. I think the istD needs the extra over 6v due to an internal protection diode.
Sevral of us have used this and it seems to work
