under the same ID's, but for say 50mm's that shouldn't matter.
This is just one ID from PhotoMe (K20D)
smc PENTAX-A 24-50mm F4 or (smc) PENTAX-A 28-80mm F3.5-4.5 or smc PENTAX-A 28-135mm F4 or smc PENTAX-A 35-70mm F4
The K-5 doesn't have this.

The strange thing is that the camera (K20D read by PhotoMe) already
has all this info, including the lens name, min. f stop, how many f stops etc. It's just that Pentax haven't used it for SR
The K-5 doesn't report any of this info to PhotoMe just that it's a K-M or A lens which to me is a nuisance because I like to see what lens was used.

too sharp and the hands are a bit ugly. I like the red effect of No:2
You seem to have a decent lighting set-up.
I normally don't like old film effects but like the scratches in No:3

Price for old k & m glass is getting insane, listed at the minute is a k 35mm f/2 for £400 why??? You could get an FA 35mm f/2 for less... It's crazy..

over at 9999 anyway.
I just use prefix letter A, B, C, D, etc. Plus the
camera ID letters
So my 1st 9999 would be in the format:
_K5A1234
I'll change sometime after 9000 (so that I don't forget) to:
_K5B1234
then
_K5C1234

It is a FACT that the K-5 no longer recognises 'A' Series lenses and you have to manually input the focal length for SR in the same way as you do for M42 and 'M' lenses PhotoMe doesn't seem to be able to find the name for the lens either.

The exposure is being metered for each shot and
the Speed is a Variable
So if the lighting changes the speed will vary... which
is what must have happened with two of my exposures,
these were done outside
The one's that Chris has done will also vary unless
they were taken with Constant Daylight Lighting equipment.

I don't think that db has the earlier Pentax lenses.
I've just checked a K10D file and it does list the A lenses.
It seems like the only focal length it knows for a zoom is the
one the photographer puts in for SR.
They are also in the PhotoMe xml file. I think you need the
beta version of PhotoMe for the latest info.
