    Pentax k -m designation

    When Pentax commence it, they completed a big production regarding releasing their patent free of charge to the entire comers. The K-mount was premeditated by West German Zeiss and purchase or licensed or borrowed from Zeiss by Pentax. I determine to locate the documentation ultimately Vivitar makes a couple of SLR's which utilize the K-mount. Seem to be well-mannered basic mechanical SLR's, by means of TTL meter, a large amount liked the classic Minolta SRT's. These are scheduled on the Freestyle and Calumet websites approximately $150. The Zeiss lenses might be enormous additions to this camera. I have not looked at one of these Vivitars in person, other than perhaps I determine to I might not locate anything on them on Vivitars US website other than they are listed on the UK website.

    Their representation circle covers merely the 18 x 24mm arrangement of APS C sized sensors so the corners of the representation determine to come out dark if the lens is used on a 24 x 36mm film camera. The smc PENTAX-DA, smc PENTAX-DA L, and smc PENTAX-DA lenses are premeditated to be used completely on digital cameras by means of an APS C sized sensor (the K and list D digital camera series).

    The DA lenses (excluding for the 18-250mm zoom) characteristic a Quick Shift focusing system that permits the focus to be extremely well tuned by means of the focusing ring on the lens without setting the camera focus selector to "MF". The DA L lenses are a light influence edition of their DA counterparts. They encompass a bayonet mount made of plastic to a certain extent than stainless steel and they do not encompass the quick shift focusing capability.

    The DA series contains a number of "star" lenses (DA) by means of top notch visual and mechanical engineering. The entire DA lenses encompass the Quick Shift focusing system and regardless of not having the WR description are in addition weather sealed. SDM Lenses by means of the SDM designation characteristic a built-in autofocus motor. Newer cameras (K100D Super, K10D, and presently) determine to take benefit of this motor and not utilize the screw-drive mechanism.

    The FA sequence lenses are autofocus and permit for convinced modern cameras (film and digital) to mechanically set aperture (TV mode), shutter speed (Av mode), or together (Program mode). You be able to in addition set exposure physically if the camera body permits for this. On recent camera bodies (e.g. list and the entire digital SLR cameras) you utilize dials on the camera body to set the opening value (the aperture ring on the lens be obliged to be in the "A" position at the entire times). On older models (such as ZX-5N, MZ-5N, LX, ME, MX, K1000) the aperture is set by means of the aperture ring on the lens.

    Excluding for these and the 35mm f/2 and 50mm f/1.4, the FA sequence, which consisted of 42 lenses entirety, has been discontinued. The FA sequence in addition contains 11 "star" lenses (FA) that employ the most excellent of Pentax visual and mechanical engineering. Exceptions the smc PENTAX-FA Soft 85mm F2.8 and smc PENTAX-FA Soft 28mm F2.8 lenses encompass no "A" setting on the opening ring. Consequently they work similar to smc PENTAX-M lenses by means of respect to revelation; they are tranquil autofocus. The "A" setting has been removed for the reason that the degree of image softness is prohibited by the aperture ring and it would be meaningless to let the camera make a decision the setting.
