Re: *ist D revisited

1) There is one thing I don't understand. If the aperture always stays wide 
open in AV mode when the lens is not set to 'A', why does the metering 
matter anyway? Who is going to use it this way?

2) If the metering works in AV mode, why not manual mode? Did Pentax 
purposely design it this way to force 'pre-A' lenses out of the picture? Or 
is there any design limitation which I cannot see?

3) I don't expect you checked this (who would?), but I asked anyway. Does 
the lenses stay 100% wide open when it was set wide open on the camera? I 
know my Z-1p doesn't. Just curious.

regards,
