Are you using the Pentax (AF280T) bracket? Are you isolating the contacts? In my case the answer is yes in the first and no in the second, but I think I may have to reconsider the second bit. I will test more before I report, but the manual for the 500 (or is it the manual for the -5n) recommends against using the bracket. I did get some weird behaviour with the K18/3.5. Kostas
