If it can't stop the lens down in Liveview it won't work correctly. I've never tried it because I use full manual and sometimes LV to help focusing, but never metering.

LV focusing isn't too hot either because the lens is usually stopped down

How old is the lens you are trying to use? 'A Series' lenses were first produced 31 years ago so yours must be older. Microsoft etc. only support products for a few years.

Most old lenses haven't metered correctly on Pentax bodies since at least the Z-1 came out.

If you knew about Liveview you would know that it has to stop down the lens to show the picture. Is it stopping down? (I doub't it).

Hey that's an idea Apple haven't thought about .......

A Black IPhone to bury with the deceased so that they can continue to take selfies

There used to be a photographer in Liverpool who used to do funerals complete with a Black Album. One of the shots I remember was the dropping of the first sod. He's passed onto the other side now ..... probably photographing new arrivals He actually arranged his own funeral.

Fantastic! and all captured so clearly to show the full story.

I was looking at some Novoflex stuff and they are really cheap.

The Pentax gear is cheap as well and postage to the UK seems to be £6 -£10

K-3 ii body £707, but the UK offer of a free Flu-Card is probably better.
DA*300mm f/4 for £729
150-450mm £1,558 .... Due back in shortly.
60-260mm £906

Some really excellent illustrations there.

Would they qualify as selfies?
