AV flashing in LCD of camera whn zoom attached

I have a pentax ist dl and a quantaray zoom....have had it for 3+ years.  All of a sudden when the zoom is attached to the body of the pentax, AV is flashing in the "lcd" and it won't opperate.  However if I take the zoom off and attach the standard issued lens that came with the camera, the camera works.  What am I doing wrong?

I found on some lenses you need to go into the menu , select settings and change av appurature setting to 2 instead of 1 .

Also check that your diaphragm ring on the Zoom lens is set to the "A" position.

Does a Quantaray Tech-10 75-300 lens fit a Pentax *ist DL digital camera?

Quantaray makes lenses with a variety of mounts. If the lens has a Pentax mount then it will fit onto your camera. If it has a Canon mount, for example, then it will not.

AV error whn pentax ist DL & Quantaray zoom lens attached

I've got the same problem. The problem is that the lense is loosely attached to the body. What you need to do is that when you see the Av flashing, press the lense of the camera to the body and twist the lense to the left a bit. This tightens the connection. You can then take the photo.

Pentax Ist DL auto focus not working anymore after using Quantaray AF LD 70-300MM Lens

It seems to be a connection issue between the Lens and the Camera body. Perhaps the mount is not true to the body Ask Pentax about this their Technical Support Team

Flash won't work

Try in custom menu I think. Switch shutter release whilst charging firmware switch whilst flash charging a couple of times. Had sinilar thing with ist DS after firmware update.

Flash on ist DL

Looks like its true... Another major disadvantage. Removing TTL means removing one more hardware piece - TTL sensor. Pentax removed almost every nice feature, which needs some aditional or more expensive hardware: no TTL flash, less AF points, pentamirror... Seems like I bought Ds right in time.

Can *ist DL do High-Speed/Wireless Flash?

According to the manual (page 153), the DL DOES support P-TTL flash, with the built-in or external flash, but only supports high-speed flash with an external flash. What I'm wondering is, what is high-speed sync flash useful for? The only thing I can think of is fill-flash outdoors.
