I guess I'd also call it a "conditional yes", too, although aperture-preferred autoexposure is my most-used mode, and I do like to set the aperture on (TTL) flash photos. If a lens is really good, and can be used with only ~modest~ inconvenience on a body for which it was not designed (and, this is for both "forward-in-time" and "backward-in-time" directions), I'd probably still try to sue the lens. For example, I'm planning on using my K 135/2.5 and K 200/2.5 lenses (and ~certainly~ a number of my old VS1 gems) on the *ist D or *ist DS (when I eventually get a digital body). On the other hand, I'd be less likely to use an FAJ lens on an older body, ~unless~ it were really optically superb and I had no other more "correct" (so to speak) lens to use instead. Fred
