This series is a real gem!
I couldn’t find a site that perfectly answered my macro questions nor clearly explained the various equipment, until I happened upon this one.
Looking forward to reading other offerings from the site.
It’s a definite keeper. Thanks!

Subho,

You can use any Pentax lens with P/K extension tubes, but you will have to use stop-down metering to set the exposure. Of course, you also lose AF (if the lens has it).

Great site and thanks for the lessons. I am preparing my macro setup for spring shooting. Is it possible to use DA lenses with PK extension tubes? The tubes do not have A contact. Is it possible to use DFA lenses with the same PK tubes?

Thanks in advance.

Very nice series of articles! I just picked up my first macro lens, the SMC Pentax-M 100mm F4 Macro, and you’ve provided some excellent information to get me started.

Parts 1-3 – what a great way to spend a lunch break! I’ll be book-marking this site, as the info contained therein is a great resource. Thank you for sharing, Peter!

This is a very good series and should enable anyone with a camera and a minimum of experience to begin to enjoy the Macro World all around us that
unfortunately not enough people get to experience. Hopefully these articles will in some way change that.
Great stuff.

Thanks Peter, macro photography was a subject that I didn’t understand much until after reading your article. Very informative and great content.
I don’t have a Macro lens but do have a set of closed up filter, now I need to go out and find some “bugs”!
