John Ive got both a 28mmA and all the others are just M
Ive permitted aperture ring.

Forgetting flash for the time being I have figured out that in AE mode I can set the aperture with one wheel and the shutter sets its self. This works fine with the A lens.

When I use the M lenses I find it is better to go into full Manual mode.
If I then physically set the aperture is there a quick way of getting the correct shutter speed?

Gareth I was using full manual. I don;t know how to get an exposure reading in manual when using flash so it was trial and error.
I wanted to use the flash compensation but couldnt find it. I now know where it is thanks.

I hope you don't mind but I'd like to throw questions and issues that I come accross with the newly aquired K10, out to the forum for help.

My first 2 issues are this:

1. I was shooting with a manual lens and using flash and the image was too bright - over exposed. I stopped down to the smallest apereture on the lens and it made no difference. I am baffled.

2. Program Line - what option should I set this to?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Fiona. It's refreshing to have some positive and useful feedback for a change.

However all is not good, I think I might be regretting rushing into the fortnightly competition.

Thanks Kris that's encouraging for me.
I take on board your recomendations.
I think I have allowed myself to become bogged down with all the techno wizzardry the K10 offers at the expense of my shots and consequently reputation,

Thank you for your kind input...and also Pironi! from earlier
