    K mount lens issue on K10d

    Ok, so I purchased an older lens on eBay because it was cheap enough to justify trying it out.

    The issue is that when I attach the lens, I can't get the camera to work with it. The top right indicator window only displays "F--" and nothing else.

    I have tried setting the camera on all modes with the same results. The lens is also set on manual focus.

    Here is the lens that I purchased:

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    All right, I dug through my operating manual and found that on this lens I have to allow use of the aperature ring in one of the menus.

    Everything is working great at this point!

    Yep, I was just about to suggest that.
    Let us know how the lens works out.

    αποκαλυπτεται γαρ οργη θεου απ ουρανου επι πασαν ασεβειαν και αδικιαν ανθρωπων των την αληθειαν εν αδικια κατεχοντων
    διοτι το γνωστον του θεου φανερον εστιν εν αυτοις ο γαρ θεος αυτοις εφανερωσεν
    τα γαρ αορατα αυτου απο κτισεως κοσμου τοις ποιημασιν νοουμενα καθοραται η τε αιδιος αυτου δυναμις και θειοτης εις το ειναι αυτους αναπολογητους
