As Kostas said, you set a custom function to allow the shutter to be released on older lenses, put the camera in manual mode, stop down as you would normally and then hit the AE-L button (I think the DoF preview works as well) to stop down momentarily and meter. It then sets the shutter speed to the correct speed for the exposure it determines. So, afaik the same as the *ist-D, apart from the colour of the button. You also don't need any new firmware - the standard DS firmware does this out of the box. I think the metering modes are also restricted to centre and spot, but that seems to be a fairly standard restriction as far as I have seen so far. billy -- Billy Abbott Photography - http://www.cowfish.org.uk/paw/
