RE: The need to manually set SR
Hi Jens If the camera can't read thje lens, the camera will ask you to dial in the correct focal length. This menu can't be accessed maually, says the instruction book, I believe. Regards . As soon as you attach an AF lens the camera sets automatically and the manual setting is greyed out in the menu. I've tried the Sigma 300 f/4 with 2x EX converter, results seem acceptable even though the camera believes I'm using a FA* 300 f/4.5, only time will tell :) John The information transmitted is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Re: The need to manually set SR
It's in the menus. I think in custom functions. But if you mount the lens and turn SR on before turning the camera on, the SR adjustment screen will appear when you turn the camera on. Just set it to 600. I've set it to 800 with my 400 and 2X converter. Works nicely.

If you fit a teleconverter behind a lens, the proper setting for the shake reduction should be the combination of lens and teleconverter focal length. So, for instance, a 300mm lens plus a 2x teleconverter constitutes a 600mm lens, and that's what the SR should ideally be set to work for.

Re: The need to manually set SR
It should have the SR focal length set to 420mm; that's the only way it knows how angular rotation of the camera affects the position of the image on the sensor. Unfortunately that's not possible with an AF lens mounted on a TC (such as the Sigma APO TCs) which passes the FA signals. This means I can't use SR if I'm using my my AF TCs :-( Pentax really need to come up with a way for the user to indicate that a TC is in use. It wouldn't be bad if they also eventually release an AF TC of their own (hopefully one that works with the new DA* lenses, while I'm dreaming ...)

When you mount an F/FA/DA lens to a Sigma 2x APO TC after switch on you cannot set the desired focal length, the Shake Reduction menu is greyed out, with an FA24-90 mounted the aperture range as stated on the lens is selectable/displayed in VF and EXIF, No corrections to Aperture or focal length in VF or EXIF If you switch on with only the Sigma 2x attached you are promted for a focal length but this is over ridden as soon as you attach an AF lens. Thanks Godfrey, just as I feared. Firmware 1.2 maybe? John The information transmitted is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
