I believe you maybe right, The one I was looking at didn't have the A setting but I believe it was a Nikon mount and they may not utilise an A on the aperture ring. All the Voigtlander SL lenses in PK mount have the 'A' position (and the focus and aperture rings move in the "correct" direction).R

Yes and no; yes it's comparatively slow but no, it does feature an "A" setting (well the SL version does anyway). It's a little brother to your new 125mm macro Clarky - same build and similar IQ.
I'm sure the Voigtlander will get on just fine with my FA 77 Ltd Yes and no; yes it's comparatively slow but no, it does feature an "A" setting (well the SL version does anyway). It's a little brother to your new 125mm macro Clarky - same build and similar IQ.

If you can get hold of the 90mm APO Lanthar (currently out of production but rumoured to be making a comeback) you may find that hits your 85mm spot rather nicely and for far less ££££!
The 90mm APO Lanthar is a little slow though at 3.5 compared to the 85mm lenses you can get, and I maybe wrong here but isn't the 90mm Lanthar fully manual and without the A setting. :If you can get hold of the 90mm APO Lanthar (currently out of production but rumoured to be making a comeback) you may find that hits your 85mm spot rather nicely and for far less ££££!

I think you are spot on with your assumption Pete, there is only one version of the AF200T and the one thoughton describes sound very much like the 200sa, I would contact the seller and return it.

Hi,I'm very new to digital photography and I've never used a flash of any kind.I'm looking for a cheapish flash for my K200d to get me started and I came across a Pentax AF200s on Ebay.Would this old unit be compatible for the 200?Is there any chance that it could damage the camera?Have you guys any advice to offer as to what would be a half decent flash for as keen beginner?Thanks in anticipation
This thread is a classic example of how far off topic a discussion can get, only 2 replies out of 30 has anything to do with Peterwhit's original post he must be scratching his head in bewilderment, its any wonder he hasn't posted a reply.

No problem, what lens is it you are trying to use?? Does it have the "A" setting on the aperture ring. If you move it off the "A" it will cause the same problem as described above.

I don't have the K-M but I guess its the same as other Pentax DSLRs
Click on "menu" and you should see 4 tab menus across the top of the screen. "Custom settings" is usually the last tab, scoll through that menu until you find "Allow use of aperture ring" and then set it to "Permitted" Hope that helps.

Have you set the "allow use of aperture ring" in the customs settings to "permitted"
You haven't said exactly what the problem is, so I am assuming you can't get the shutter to fire. ??

There is a Pentax AF 35-70mm lens for sale here, going for £110, not sure if its a good price or not, never seen another for sale before. Reading the reviews on them, they don't rate very highly.Dangermouse wrote:
I now have an ME Super, MG, and a couple of MV1s (the other is the normal black one) from the M series. I'd quite like an ME F as they were the first AF SLRs, although I don't rate my chances of finding the matching AF 35-70mm lens at a price I can afford.
The AF 35-70mm lens appears to be quite a rare beast. I keep looking on ebay to no avail. Mind you, who would have guessed a 400-600 mirror would turn up...

I suspect they are not as useful on modern lenses as they already have the ghostless coatings :
What do you think
