With you so far.

Ed, is that correct for a body that takes its aperture from the lens? If
I set f/8 on the aperture ring of a variable-aperture zoom at its long
end, the effective aperture will not be f/8. The LCD will indicate f/11
(say).
Would it be correct to say:
.............VVV
If you set f/5.6 at 85mm the LCD would indicate f/8; zooming back to 28,
the LCD will indicate f/5.6.
Aside: when using aperture priority on a body that sets aperture via the
command dial (ick, imho), does the aperture stay fixed when zooming a
variable-aperture zoom?
