It IS a PITA.
IIRC, that's not actually true for the MZ-S. It will record the actual aperture in Av or P mode on the edge of the film frame. It is shown in the viewfinder, too, after a fashion. In the viewfinder the nearest "standard" f-stop is shown in the viewfinder. So, if the actual aperture is f/3.0, it might show f/2.8 in the viewfinder, but it does seem to record f/3.0 on the edge of the film. I'll have to dig out some frames from my MZ-S and confirm that, though. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
