After two years Noise Ninja has been updated and apparently integrates with Lightroom.

As there is a function to prevent shutter release if AF is not locked, I'd have thought it'd be relatively simple to impose the same restriction if SR is not ready (as an option, of course).

Mannesty,

My little piece of advice was meant for manual lenses, without an A setting . . .
Apologies, I missed your heading stating for manual lenses.

I have to disagree with terje-l. Set the lens to A and set the aperture on the body. This might be a different way of working for you but if you set the aperture on the lens, you'll have the same metering/exposure issues that you might get with the K and M series lenses.

If you must set the aperture on the lens, make sure you set the appropriate custom setting on your camera to use it. It's turned off by default.

Welcome to the forum.

If they are Pentax K mount (bayonet) lenses they will work with your new camera. M42 screw mount lenses can also be used with an adapter. If they are older K mount lenses designed for the Ricoh camera, you might have a problem with a pin that gets stuck somewhere making it difficult, but not impossible, to remove the lens.

Your K200D manual has a page of limitations relating to certain lenses, but they are minimal and should not cause you any bother.

If you intend buying any more lenses, I'd stick to A series or later. They are the lenses having the A mark on the aperture ring. Using older K and M series lenses might result in some metering/exposure issues.

It's certainly a well composed image. I'm not sure if the shadows going every which way helps it, or not.

You're welcome. I use two AF240FT's on my macro lighting rig. They work fine for me.

Often confused with other MG Roadsters, the MGC is easily recognised by its bonnet bulge.

This looks to me to be a novelty table lamp rather than any serious photographic equipment.
