Are such lenses even usable on older bodies like the MX?
The MX is manual only. Lenses set on A and lenses without aperture
rings can only be used wide open.
Fully stopped down, not wide open.
Wide open would be easier for hand holding; fully stopped down
means more need for tripod and cable release, harder to focus.
Harder to focus? My lenses on 'a' only stop down when I press the
shutter on a MX. Focussing and light-metering is wide open. Or am I
missing your point?
That's right, the MX will hold the aperture wide open but will always
go to minimum lens opening (f/22 - f/32) at exposure time, no
intermediate f/stops can be selected. My mistake, I misspoke.
