Not quite right, Paul. With the screw-mount lenses (plus the adapter, of course) *everything* is done stopped down; there's no coupling to the aperture iris. That means you can use Av, as well as metered manual; the camera meters and exposes at the selected aperture (rather than at full aperture on bayonet lenses). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
