As I said in another post, the prototype we handled at GFM* seemed to be changing the speed index over several stops when Mark Roberts tried it with his K15/3.5. I did not notice that with my M50/1.7, but I had it in manual mode when I tried it. Not being an idiot, I did not think to check how it worked if you did something idiotic. In default mode it will not even fire the shutter. I was the one who reset the camera to fire with a non-A lens, but I did not think to try it in automatic with my M lens. In manual there was no exposure confirmation that I could see, and if I set a wrong exposure the result was obviously wrong. Mark will be able to tell you exactly what he did. Also, I do not a CF card, so everyone will have to wait for some of the other list members to get home to see images.
