Bellows on a Pentax K10D


I have a Pentax K10D. I bought a set of bellows for Pentax which is screw mount. I intend to use it on my digital camera (using an adapter) with a screw mount lens. Would it damage my camera's light metering system?

  I would think that if you found an adapter that was intended for this purpose that there should be no worries with you metering system. I would contact your manufacturer and see if there is anything available.

  I don't think it would change anything for the camera's internal light meter since the light would be passing through the bellows already. For an external light meter, it sure would.

  Thanks for the response!
I checked with Pentax and they have confirmed that as long as it is a Pentax make, it wouldn't affect the metering system.
