If the camera could record the f stop the lens was set to when the lens wasn't set to A, then it could also meter properly. I know that F and FA lenses supply the camera with that information, but Pentax apparently didn't equip the camera with the capability to read it.

Ok Ok i know i'm supposed to know this,but i forgot and i did not save the threads but,,,
When a lens is off A and shooting in M mode, i noticed the info file does not record the F
stop data. Is this normal for the camera or have i got a dud.Or is it because i forgot to press the
green button.(this is a great item,but will take a few days to get used to)
Updated to Firmware 1.11 last night and did some quick flash tests.
In P mode lens on A using the AF283T, i got F stop data. In M mode with lens on F 5.6
shutter at 1/60 i did not.
This could be a pain since i was hoping for this data as i did not keep notes on the flash test.
However i did notice the 283(in TTL) is inconsistant in the above mode which works well on
my film cameras but was a bit overexposed on the D. Setting the flash to auto,green,and the
aperature on the lens,worked better. A tad under but not much.
Sorry for the repeat question,but you should expect that from me by now.LOL
