zenit_zepplin Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 so, why is it claiming that an AF lens can't be used on a zx-30 body...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
personalphotos Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 I don't own one of the 'crippled' KAF bodies so the answer is better left to others. But you may want to check the following. There are many limitations with this mount. http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/technology/K-mount/crippled.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewg_ny Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I don't know much about these "AF" lenses, but I suspect these were the short-lived, first implementation of AF. The vast majority of Pentax autofocus lenses are F, FA, FA-J, D-FA, and DA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy_macmahon1 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 The AF lenses are early autofocus lenses compatible with the ME F autofocus camera (there's only one model, a 35-70 f2.8 zoom). They do not have an automatic aperture setting, and so have most in common with 'M' lenses, which also cannot be used with the cheaper ZX/MZ cameras. They only provide autofocus with the ME F body, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
