I use manual lenses a lot and I think the old Pentax ones are superb.
What I have found to be a good method with manual focus lenses is to put the camera in auto focus mode then press the shutter button fully down (after first setting exposure) and then adjust the focus ring. In this mode the camera will fire the shutter only when the image is in focus.
I have tried it and it gives really good results.
To deal with exposure on fully manual lenses, you will have to go into your camera menu and 'permit use of aperture ring'. Then to set exposure, put the camera in manual, adjust the aperture ring on the lense to the value you want, then (on my camera) press the AE-L button and the camera selects the correct shutter speed.
This is all based on the K100D but I am sure you will be able to make these settings on your model.

Some cracking shots there Carlos!
I will be staying at my parent's place which is near Peniche / Obidos if you know it.
We will probably spend a couple of nights in Lisbon and your comments regarding the neighbourhoods of the old city looks interesting. What is a Fado restaurant?

Cheers for replies, Bass and Bligh is a tiny shop with not much in. Annings is even smaller and expensive. Bradford camera exchange, not so sure. They have been there for years but I think are a second hand shop type dealer.
I guess my point is that since Jessops dropped PENTAX there aren't that many places that sell their stuff, at least not round these parts.
Will have to buy off the net and rely on reviews etc on sites such as this. Just wanted to confirm that was the case.
