Hi guys,

Suffering with a case of LBA recently and today purchased a Tamron SP Tele-Converter 2X BBAR MC For Pentax K F System.

I thought as my pockets are not as deep to purchase a good zoom lens and Macro lens I thought I would give this a go. But, When connected to my K-x and manual 50mm 1.7 Prime Lens opened at the widest aperture I get a black picture??

Like wise when changed to a Manual Sigma 70-210mm same, and the kit lenses that I have also do not work.

I have changed the setting in the camera to accept manual lenses but am I missing something really obvious or is the converter I purchased not compatible with my beloved K-x (soon to be a K-5 of if I'm really lucky K-3 price dependant.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Daz

Thanks Steve, I'm voting each day for about an hour or so as I'm off work at the mo. I only submitted them about 10 days ago so still time yet

G'day Guys,

I have been looking at some of the great pictures in galleries that you all have and I noticed smugmug and PPG. I have signed up to the PPG and submitted 5 pictures, but was wondering how long on average it takes before they get accepted or rejected?

Can anybody let me know a rough time as I'd love to know if any of my pic's uploaded so far are worthy enough.

Thanks

Daz

That made me smile, I am that $75 flea market user, or as we Brits say, car booter looking for Pentax lenses that will correct my photo shots or at least make me look like I can take a picture...

G'day guy's,

Just thought I would drop in and say hello

My name is Darren and I currently live and work in Solihull. I presently own a Pentax K-x and will be upgrading to a K-30 later in the year.

My photo skill's could do with some constructive critique and I look forward to getting to know you.

Have a great day
