Q: 1. Hi , Is it possible to connect the camera to an android OS ? Does it need a special driver or is it like a regular UVC camera ?

Q: 2. I hope to use this conversion lens on a Sony Z90. Will it affect the cameras macro ability?

Q: 3. What is the right replacement lens shade for this?

A: I contacted Pentax with your inquiry, and they stated the correct lens hood for the Pentax smc FA 645 80-160mm f/4.5 Lens is the Pentax PH-RBF77 Lens Hood, MFR Part # 38729. Unfortunately this lens hood is no longer manufactured by Pentax and currently we do not have the lens hood in new or used options. I did check our new department and our Used Photography Department, but unfortunately, we do not have the lens hood new or used. As such, you may have to check either online in used camera stores or on a auction site like eBay to see if anyone is selling the lens. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Q: 4. Can you please tell me if the fine focus adjustment apply one setting works for this lens, without having to use the 'apply all' setting? it would be not so convenient to have to remember to zero the setting every time I change the lens. Thank you.
