The Bellows A allows automatic control of the aperture as per A lenses. These bellows were very expensive when new.

I can't offhand find a contemporary price for Bellows A, But in 1984 Auto Bellows M sold at Eric Fishwick's for £82.00 and to put that into perspective an A series 50mm f/1.4 was just £65.00

Hope that helps!

You're asking questions that few people can answer yet, but I can tell you that the K-5 is a significant jump in quality and speed of operation over the K20D.

When I was using AF and had left focus peaking switched on the display on freezing focus was horrible - grainy and with white halos everywhere. Cured by switching focus peaking off.

Scratched my head for a while with that one, so hope I've saved somebody else some time!

Just a reminder that this competition is drawing to a close soon, so just time left to get shooting and produce a winning image.

I think we've taken on board that you think it's too expensive....

Ken and myself are waiting to see whether it's what we need to buy. For me, it's either the adapter or the new long zoom.

Please don't tell me I need both.....

I think we need to wait and see what the adapter actually does. We know it has some form of aperture control. We know it has a built in shutter. We can surmise that it will be manufactured to Pentax tolerances.

Whether its final price equates to expensive remains to be seen.

Unfortunately, the last option is a bit judgemental. It could be said that someone doesn't register their products because they know it isn't necessary. That doesn't equate with being lazy....

I think it would now be courteous to return to the OP's request.

I think a Google search could be way forward for you, or checking out the Pentax website.

Many people, myself included, don't even load the Pentax software, because we have other things already in place. It depends upon your workflow. This means that experience in using it may be limited.

However, I agree that not everyone want to or can invest in other software, so the programs provided by Pentax will no doubt do the processing needed very well.
