I hate it when people patent things that are already in the public domain? I hope whoever posted the first test card sues his arse off.
Well he is a Canon user, I say no more

The P30 has a max shutter speed of 1/1000 and no TTL flash control. It's exposure modes are limited to P & M and has a range of only 1-18EV compared to 20 or 21 for most of the other Pentax film SLR's.
As such, it's one of the least capable Pentax cameras and therefore not worth very much. In fact, if it has a new battery fitted, sadly the battery might fetch more than the camera.

The Sigma 1.4 DG does not work (Auto focus) with the 70-200HSM MK11 and won’t fit the Tamron 70-200 f2.8.loskeran wrote:

I do have a shot taken with it on the camera in my gallery if you want to look.
If it's the Pz-AF version you talking about, this converter was discussed in another recent thread. Some said theirs worked with SDM focus others not. So it might be worth checking first with SRS if you need SDM focus.I Have tried quite a few Tc's The one i have settled on, is the Kenco 1.4 dg from SRS and at £89 inc postage for members of the forum not bad

It Is about time Pentax bought one out for use on SDM lenses.
PS the newKenko one I am using is the P/AF DG With my Tamron 70-200 f2.8.
Another PS, I did buy it from SRS?

I would love also to try my 50mm f1/4 lens with the reversing ring but I seem to have difficulty using the manual focus. I do use the manual aperture from the ring and turn the Focus to Manual in the camera. The setting in the C menu also to allow the shutter release when using setting other than "A" in the aperture also is set properly.
The only way I am able to focus is just by moving the camera forward and backwards, and when I turn the focus ring in the lens itself nothing seems to happen.
Am I missing something here?
Thank you very much
