Flipping the auto/manual switch, pressing the green button, six of one........
Compared to using K/M lenses on the *ist (once again, film body), the M42s are heaven. If the *ist had an aperture simulator or something similar to the green button I'd definitely use the non-A lenses. Fact is, "discovering" screw mount lenses on the *ist has really got me excited about using this body again. This is a good thing. And just to feed the flames - If Pentax is trying to move on from supporting obsolete lenses, or if they're trying to force me to upgrade to newer lenses, they have succeeded only in encouraging me to buy even older lenses. <g> On 1/2/06, Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > But don't you still have to switch to auto to open the aperture for > focusing?
