"Also I changed the "using aperture ring" option in menu setting to prohibited"

Have you changed that back?

You are probably better putting the Pentax M 50mm f1.7 back
on and making sure that everything works with that lens. If
it does the Porst must be faulty.

Is the aperture stuck wide open??

Its more likely to be a lens fault than camera fault, stop the lens all the way diwn off camers and work the aperture leaver to see if the blades open...
Hi, Cabstar, I just got the problem. I closed the aperture all the way down and as soon as i mounted it to my camera the aperture opened wide. but after mounting if i change the aperture it stays open. is there any solution?
It should open up. Try a 1 second exposure at f22 on a tripod and
stand in front of the camera to see if the aperture closes
down for 1 second.

I've got the same lens and haven't had any problems with it.
It works the same as an 'M' Series.

Just check the following..
Aperture closes down as you turn the aperture ring from f1.2
to f22?

With the lens at f22 pushing the aperture lever should open up to
f1.2 ....... slide finger off quickly and it should immediately
close back to f22... If it doesn't do it quickly it's sticky.

The aperture lever top should be level with the protective
fence. If a Canon owners had it he may have cut it down.

It does sound like the trigger isn't Pentax compatible.
It's also rare for a Nikon trigger to work on a Canon
and vice-versa, they are usually camera specific.

I would say they were real, but the lens doesn't seem to
have any bokeh and it's at f/4.5

From what he's used on other photos it seems to cover
60-135mm.... Could it be the 50-135mm ?

The photos have possibly been manipulated as well it seems
to done quite often on the LFC site and that particular
photographer uses HDR a lot.

I thought all HDD Recorders had a jump forward 1 Minute
button. (Manual Skip). My Panasonics got 10secs and 60secs
So I usually jump 4-5mins at the adds. Some are even 6 mins
which means you could be watching 24 mins of adds per hour...
which is getting ridiculous.

Comedy Centrals one of the worst it even shows you a
trailer of the program that you are actually watching

I used to even have a one minute skip button on a
JVC VHS Recorder as well years ago.

Olympus users pay more for an old lens with the "chrome ring"
even though they aren't as good as the later MC version.
They seem to think the "chrome ring" has some kind of magic
