No, A lenses and F lenses with the aperture ring set to A will work too. > I have taped over some of the contacts on camera body and camera > works with lens attached but am sure the metering will be nowhere > near right. Probably meters as if wide open and underexposes (except if shooting wide open :-). Easy to fix on a case-by-case basis; just dial as much overexposure as you stop down. In order not to run out of exposure compensation, set the iso 3 stops lower than the film and consider (maximum+3) your dead-on aperture. You then dial + compensation to stop down (close the aperture) and - compensation to stop up (open the aperture) from the dead-on point. It is error-prone I am afraid, if you are as forgetful as I am :-( HTH, Kostas (not sure the -60 has exp. comp and manual ISO setting)
