I personally only use mine in aperature AE or manual. I have been using
cameras that way for 20 years and it worked and still works well for me.
I haven't found any good reason to do otherwise.

The N90s's shutter is one of the things I found striking about it too.
I have used: Minolta XD-11, Yashica FX-1, Pentax ME Super, Pentax MX,
Leica M2, Mamiya 645, Canon AE-1, Nikkormat FTn. The N90s has the most
pleasing and sounds like the precision instrument that it is. The XD-11's
sounds pretty good too. I don't remember how the M2 sounds. The others
do not sound smooth. It is as if they were not made well but they work just fine.
