Rob, you're gonna hate me but I never really liked the aperture ring- I always found it a bit of a faff. I agree that left hand supports the lens and tickles the focus, but to adjust the ap ring I always found myself having to support the camera with my right hand. Maybe i wasn't doing it right ;-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________
