Bellows on Pentax K10D


I purchased a set of bellows for a Pentax K10D, both the lens and the bellows fit the camera OK but when I connect the bellows to the camera, the shutter release will not operate.
The camera shutter operates with no lens on it, but not when I connect the bellows.
Any suggestions would be appreciated ?

  With the bellows attached, the camera senses a lens but has no way to control the aperture. So it locks the shutter. To change this setting, go to the Custom Setting menu and set "Using Aperture Ring" to "Permitted". (see the manual, pp. 209-210 and pp. 33-35).
