Thanks, I will give this a try, although I do seem to remember giving the ISO a turn all the way to x4 and nothing changed. So I guess that is a bad sign.

Hello,

I have been using my Pentax ME Super for a few years now so I have a general knowledge of how to expose using the built in meter. I recently got a Pentax Super A camera because it has extra settings that I wanted to play with but I am having this issue where the meter only seems to work with in Shutter Priority Mode.
Does anyone have a pentax super a on here?
Should different settings yield different results? for example:

Set on Shutter Priority
I point the camera at a light part of my room and it tells me it is at F2.5 and i turn my shutter to 30. its happy with that.

Set on Manual
I point the camera in the same place, set it to F2.5 and it isn't happy until i turn the shutter speed down to 4''

Set on Aperture Priority
I point the camera in the same place, set it to F2.5 and the camera chooses a shutter speed of 4''

Set on Automatic
I point the camera in the same place, it sets F2 at a shutter speed of 60

WHAT DOES IT MEAN!? Shouldn't these readings all be the same? I have tried it with a different lens on the camera and i get the same results. So i know its not my lens.

On my pentax me super - which i know works - i can set the manual to F2.8 at 1/30 and then change it to Aperture priority and it gives me the same shutter speed reading when pointed in the same place.

Hi, I am completely new to camera's and have recently bought the Pentax Q. I have the standard prime lens that comes with it and have been looking at the standard zoom that can be purchased. I just wondered if there are any other options in terms of zoom lenses that I can fit onto my camera with the aid of some sort of adapter. I have a pretty good zoom lens that I normally have on my friend's canon DSLR camera.
