Pentax K10D won't work with lens from Pentax K100 (film0




By Moni10 on Feb 12, 2008

" "
I just bought a Pentax K10D and it shoots great pictures. I also have an old Pentax K100 film camera and when I tried to use the lens from the old camera on my new k10d the camera wouldn't work. The lens seemed to screw on properly, but I couldn't get the shutter to work. Do I need an adapter?

The lenses are probably manual focus lenses,  
  1. Make sure that the apature ring is set to 'A' or automatic, 
  2. if these are manual focus lenses then switch the focus switch on the left side of the camera body to MF 
  3. If this still doesn't work, or you are having trouble with the apature ring then press the menu button to go to the  menu then press the right arrow key untill you are in the  Custom Settings, scroll through the custom settings with the up and down arrow keys until about the 2nd from bottom there is an option called "using aperture ring" set this to 2 (Permitted) This will make the camera take a image when lens is on any f-stop manually. 
Try this and everything should work fine. If all this hasn't worked then try seting the mode dial on the camera to M manual mode. Cheers
