If they are mounted I use a pixl-latr. I bought a Kaiser lightbox as a light source and I have a 1960s Pentax IIIP. I use a K50 macro lens but it doesn't get close enough so I use an extension tube. Once set-up I can copy slides very rapidly: drop the slide into the holder, fire the camera, then move on to the next. I have an Epson V750 which will scan 12 slides at a time but this is faster.

I don't remember it being a nuisance but then I photograph old buildings, tombstones and trees...

Yes, I use Av mode on my K-3iii.

BTW, in Av mode it automatically closes the aperture and takes a reading before taking a photo. As a result you cannot "preview" what the shutter speed is going to be as it doesn't know...

The aperture set on the dial just stores that value in the exif file, it has no impact on the actual aperture which is set on the ring. The camera has no idea what the maximum/minimum apertures are for the lens.

What is the delay on the aperture reading before taking a shot? Is it significant enough to be a hindrance when capturing unpredictable scenes? (Animals/Children/Insects on foliage)

Thanks

It seems odd that this hasn't been highlighted before, as it's been asked for for years and is a big step forwards when using older K mount lenses. If it had been I would have had a K-3 III by now...

I'm surprised I didn't mention it when I won mine. As far as I'm concerned it's one of the best things about the K-3iii. I never use the extra dial for changing settings (whatever its called!), I've never really worked out how to use it or what it does properly, and when I did look into it I decided I'd never remember how to use it anyway.

Love the second one. Have you tried cropping it square?

I love using my manual lenses although of late I've been a bit lazy and the 31mm seems to b glued to the front of my K-3iii (apart from some macro work).

Have fun, as that is the point.

Some super images, well done. My only criticism is that there is some green fringing along the brighter edges with some of them. Lightroom can normally deal with that pretty well.

I have never seen one in the wild. It will be interesting if anyone has one.

I've occasionally seen one for sale but not often and not conveniently.
