I just bought a Pentax LX camera and am looking around for nice lenses to go with this body. According to Bojidar Dimitrov's website on Pentax the 500mm f/4.5 lens has a manual diaphragm but I was unable to get any more information about the lens. The macro lens is also the older manual focus lens and I was unable to get information on this lens.

Can anybody help me?

I've shot with the 500 f4.5. It is manual aperture, and I used one adapted for use with a Nikon. I almost always shot with it wide open, so the aperture didn't bother me. Its a monster, and required a large tripod. It is fairly sharp considering it is not an "ED" lens.
