Greetings All,
Hope everyone has recouped from Christmas and is ready
for New Year's celebrations!
My questions come from the brochure for the F100. It is
now available on-line in PDF format from Nikon USA:
http://www.nikonusa.com/products/products.taf?id=244
Towards the bottom you'll see the "Click here to download" links.
When you get to the "Nomenclature/Controls" page (pdf page
10 of 12), you'll see on the back view of the body, on the
left hand side there is a button next to the "CSM" button
that is for, "Shutter speed/aperture lock button."
Anyone know how/when/why this works/you use it/it's provided?
Second question is a little more disconcerting. On pdf page
11 (brochure page 20, "Nikkor Lenses") there is the lens
compatibility chart. The Metering System for AI-type Nikkors
is, as expected, CW and spot modes only. But if you look closely,
both have a footnote of #7 which reads, "Exposure compensation
may be necessary."
?! This is something new -- the N90s brochure has no such footnote.
Does anyone know why AI/AIS lenses may require compensation? Is
this true of the F5 as well?
*sigh* Slowly but surely they're chipping away at the backward
compatibility. What happened to no planned obsolesence?
Regards,
Chris
