Hi William
my Pentax SFXn only shows the aperture *in the LCD* when the lens is set to
A position, otherwise not.
greetings

I can confirm that:
My Z1 does not detect aperture with my Tamron 28mm 2.5 with KA adapter
but does with ma FA 50mm 1.4. This is with aperture ring not on A of course.

My MXs do ...
The same is true for the PZ-1 and PZ-1p with FA
lenses--the aperture set on the lens shows up in the
viewfinder just fine.
...well, except with the FA 28-80/3.5-4.7 (power
zoom), in which case the aperture in the viewfinder is
about a stop off (even though exposure is fine). Go
figure.

It couldn't, as it predates the F/FA lenses and their protocols :-)

I paid $1,399.00 Cdn. for mine. Are you saying that you got a better deal
than that... That's incredible if you did. The only criticism I have with the D
is that it is so small that it almost feels uncomfortable in my hands, and I
don't have big hands. Have ist D owners found that the grip impro
If the camera could record the f stop the lens was set to when the lens
wasn't set to A, then it could also meter properly.
I know that F and FA lenses supply the camera with that information, but
Pentax apparently didn't equip the camera with
the capability to read it.

The focal length and aperture is not recorded. Cameras like Super A (1983)
PZ-1 and MZ-S (2001) etc. all work the same way - that is, the aperture is
not "recorded" by the camera (allthough it is by the meter), thus not stated
in the viewfinder or otherwise. It IS a PITA. But th

Only when the F stop is set *on the camera body* will this
