I have successfully installed the M42 lens into the K20D. However, I found the following issue.

1)AWB is not accurate. The photo is very yellow color in the dim environment.

2)The flash is not working. It always give out Maximum flash power.

All C-Hing, Please help!

I have solved puzzle. Thanks for Joe C-hing.

The reason is K20 is thinking Flash has been used(Not used indeed!) for taking photos in dim environment. So, AWB will give out more "Yellow" to balance the "Whitening"effect from the flash. So, AWB is not useful when a flash is needed from the K20. I have to manually set the WB when K20 has detected Flashing is needed.

K20 Internal Flash is not compatible to any M42 lens. K20 will always give out maximum flash power. SO, an external Manual Flash must be used when using M42 Lens..

Hope this help if anyone is going to play with the M42 lens..
