It really said "A series lens", not "a series lens". That's different. > Would there be a an entry at all for the focal length entered? > The camera can get the max apature, so surely that could be recorded.???? That depends on what the camera does. ShowTags just reports what the camera has put in the various fields. If the camera fills in the focal length (which I believe the K10D does if shake reduction is on) then that will show up. While it is possible, in theory, for a DSLR to read the maximum aperture from the dumb contacts on an A lens, I don't believe any of the Pentax DSLRs do so - they rely on the data sent over the digital signal pin. > it all falls down of course with k, m and screw mount lens, tho camera does > ask for focal length so........... > > James > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
