so im plannin to buy myself a canon eos 300d for around £30 quid to use with my pentax k lenses that came with my slr. I was wondering if yall have any advice about using the camera with this adapter and lense combo. I have already read online about the cheap adaptors and im gonna buy a fotodiox one but im wondering if you guys who have had any advice on actually using the lense on the body. I plan to adapt the lense, use aperture priority mode and learn zone focusing. Nit im worried im missing some important info out, is there any other things i will else i need to do to use this combo? I have heard potentially you may need to use stop down metering but i haven't seen anywhere how to do it or if it will be an issue. Oh just to put it out there yes i know i could buy a pentax *st for a bit more but im tryna do it cheap and those are like £100+ on ebay and i just want to experience and learn all manual photography on a film like camera which is like the cost of a few rolls.
