I have found that the camera works perfectly with the 50mm f1.7 lens from my K1000. Because it's an 'A' lens (=Auto), you just have to set the aperture ring to 'A' and the camera can control the aperture in the normal way. No AF, of course, but that's no great hardship. I have taken a few shots with this lens and have been mightily impressed with its quality. It is way sharper than the 50 - 200 DA WR, but that should not be surprising as (a) it's a prime (b) it's an f1.7 lens and (c) dare I say it, build quality was higher in those days.
The apple is a 100% crop - sorry, no pun intended. We actually had a lot more apples than this one, which I left for the birds.
