M42 lens to Z1-P (more question)
Is it possible that the object in infinite distance cannot be focused due to the thickness of adapter? Are there any 'bee bee' sound for correct focusing? Which function will be lost? -Marix, spot or central average metering -exposure compensation -TTL flash Please advise. -- Åwªï¨Ï¥ÎHongKong.com¶l¥ó¨t²Î Thank you for using hongkong.com Email system - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Recently [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is it possible that the object in infinite distance cannot be focused due to the thickness of adapter? No problems here. The adapter does not add any thickness, so the distance markings on the lens will coincide with reality. Are there any 'bee bee' sound for correct focusing? No, here you must scratch the black paint on the lens so that the body thinks that it has a K-mount lens mounted. In general not advised, but others might want to give you more details about this. Which function will be lost? -Marix, spot or central average metering Matrix metering is not possible. -exposure compensation remains possible -TTL flash also remain possible.

Re: M42 lens to Z1-P
Hi Chris, I was thinking of an M42 lens set to M. Then turning the aperture ring changes the position of the aperture blades in all cases (when the lens is not mounted or mounted on a K-mount body). The body does not know the aperture setting, so it uses what is sees. The lens does not close down further when the shot is taken, so the picture is exposed properly, at the selected aperture. You are writing about the same setup but with the Auto seting engaged. I guess that we are both correct, but we are talking about different things. Sorry.

from the thread ... Are there any 'beep beep' sound for correct focusing? No, here you must scratch the black paint on the lens so that the body thinks that it has a K-mount lens mounted. In general not advised, but others might want to give you more details about this. You can slip a piece of aluminum foil between the lens body where the contacts are to make this connection. Been There / Done That / Way Cool for shooting an old m42 lens at aperture in stage-dark conditions. Bill - Bill D.
