That's a great line. Of course one should never anthropomorphize
cameras. They HA
Yea, that doesn't work, I can leave it for months without batteries,
(and the "maintenance" battery has long been expired), still doesn't
function. It will stop the lens down, just not for DOF or Green button.

Thanks John. I see the same double dash thing on a couple of lenses - my
old Tokina 400 did that a lot actually, but would reset when the lens
was remounted. In this case the aperture displays as it should -
actually, all the settings display as they should - the camera still
treats all lenses
Thanks - sounds like what is happen with my K10d, though it does work OK
with non-A lenses or lenses where the aperture ring is not on the A
setting.

I tried that for about half an hour, but nothing changed, so I'm going
for a day or two and see if that does anything.

I may have experienced something similar with a single lens, although it
happened across ALL of my Pentax DSLRs when I mounted that particular lens.
When you mount a lens set to the 'A' position, does the aperture display
show "--" (a double dash) instead of the electronically set aperture?

The oldest trick in the book an electronic camera, of course, is to
turn it off, remove the battery, let it think about its own mortality
for several minutes, re-insert the battery and try again.

My old *ist-D has a similar problem, mounted lenses simply won't stop
down using either DOF preview or the green button, in any mode. I
believe there's a broken lead either on a flex connector or the circuit
board, or something is interfering with one of the micro switches
resetting.

Thanks, Darren - the eraser did not help. I also tried tightening the
lens mount screws, but they were plenty tight so I didn't accomplish
anything. I was hoping it might be a simple matter of one contact on the
mount not working, but if so it is more than just being dirty.
I pulled the batter
First thing to try with anything resembling contacts problem is to
take a clean pencil eraser and rub the contacts on the body and lens
(to clean them). You shouldn't need to make any eraser shavings, but
if there are blow them off in such a way that you don't get them
inside the camera body. That
My IR converted K10d has started acting strange - basically it pretty
much ignores any A, F, FA or DFA lens that is attached to it and treats
them like a K or M mount. The camera will do nothing unless "using
aperture ring" is enabled in the custom options. Even then, if the
