Yeah dosent spring back, is it expensive to fix!!


Cracking lens quality though much better then my kit lens and teaches you to move about more to get a better shot then using a change in the focal length


thanks for the advice

Okay, so i had a play around with the lens, at A it is still wide open but wheni play with a little slider on the fitment of the lens i can open and close the aperture, then when increase the aperture it opens as it should using the manual ring, but when i turn it back to A it dosent reduce the size

and i have to use the slide thing protruding out
i hope this helps you more learned to diagnose the problem

great!

A lot of information! ill try cleaning the contacts. if that dosent work reversing it may have to do!!

Still upset thought it was a bargain but got screwed


if cleaning dosent work i may send it to get checked cost me 10pound but if its simple then maybe worth it !!

thanks for the advice

thanks, for the help!!!

i am a bit dissapointed though,

however i looked at the lens and it is a smc pentax f 50mm

so not as bad as the pentax A i hope.

do you have any suggestions of a good lens that does a similar job but not a ridiculous price!!

Hi guys, this is my first post i hoped it was in better circumstances.

i just came back from lisbon and went to a famous brickabrack market. there was a guy selling antique camera equipment and he had some pentax lenses, unfortunately i had left my camera at the hotel, so i couldnt check it there.

to cut a long story short i managed to get the lens down to 10 euros which is about 7 pounds not bad eh?

Ok the problem---it dosent work, it can take at f1.7 but when i try to set the aperture using the camera in av mode ( pentax k10d) the images are blown out, and it seems like the aperture is not decreasing in size.

same when i use the manual av ring --- would love some help if anyone has any ideas!!1

should i open it!!

or get it repaired or leave it and just use it a 1.7!! ok cant wait to get stuck into this forum
