Hello, this is Thomas from Germany! I also just installed the new firmware; all language settings and user settings are kept after doing this - nice! Only date and time had be set again. Stop-down metering works well, I think I won't sell my SMC-M 85/2.0 that soon now... :-) But the best part of it: Green button or not, in "M" you also have full metering now with the DOF-preview activated! This of course also works with the vertical grip, and with all lenses be in K, M, A, F or FA! Very nice! This quite adds a "Spottie-feeling" to the Starkist, and I think I will use most of my lenses more often "out of A" again...better useabililty when swapping between different (and older) bodies. :-) Thomas
