Its official - I'm an idiot. Didn't twig Dangermouses last bit in the brackets until I read Algi's comment re the aperture ring setting. I didn't bother with that on the K-X - on the K-5 I've just changed it to allowed and everything works perfectly. Asks for the focal length, green light comes on, beep sounds, red light comes on screen to show focus point etc.

Apologies for being a numpty and I'm very grateful for the assistance.

half pressing on the shutter button.

Doing what I normally do with the other MF lenses. Didn't anticipate the M42 fitting would change things.

Wide open - bags of light.

Can't see to focus when its stopped down.

Tried a couple of hundred shots - have other MF lenses where the green light comes on. Does not come on at all with this lens.

to use the Green Hexagon for focus.
It doesn't actually indicate that its focused - I'm doing it manually. the green light never comes on.

I'm another who really likes that curved lead in to No 1. Beautiful place to visit.

really super set. Just purchased a 645 and looking forward to getting out with it.

A super set of images. As has been mentioned before there are some real life affirming scenes. Definitely more smiles (real ones) than I would normally see when out and about.

The lens is the Carl Zeiss Flektogon 2.4/35. I'll do some testing today at different f stops and see what its doing.

Thanks for the replies folks - I'll just paddle on with the 645 and see how it goes.
