Woah, evidently I misread what was originally said.. I didn't grasp this at all. So... I have to set the aperature from the camera body? I don't have the privlege of doing it the right way, with the ring on the lens itself? My interest just waned that much more. I'm evidently going to continue being a bitter hold out, and to think, I was close to wafflign when I saw the prices at B&H (I didn't realize they had gone so low, down to $420 for some variation, the DL*ist I suppose). Sigh, I guess it was a sign of the times when the FAJ without the aperature rings came out. I presume the "DA" lenses are specifically designed to not cover full frame and are also FAJ mount? Maybe its time I buy that Leica after all and ascend to snobbery the proper way. :) Gah, next thing someone'll tell me they've gone all funny, too... -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
