With the lens on "A" you're actually shooting in Shutter Priority AE mode. In any event... While all of what you say is true I will "never" buy a lens without an aperture ring. It just doesn't feel like photography to me at that point. There are certain things, no matter how advanced or tweaked the technology gets, that I just can't do without. The feel of an SLR in my hands without a way to manually set the f-stop on the lens is just icky to me. But then I drink all of my scotch neat and my guitar amp is all tube so I just like things a certain way. Plus, I almost never shoot in Shutter Priority. Usually, when I want a particular shutter speed, I either adjust the lens (keeping DOF in mind) until I find it or go to manual exposure. Besides, for me, the automation works so much better adjusting the f-stops to the correct exposure than setting the lens to "A" and having to reach awkwardly to set the shutter speed dial. -Brendan > Godfrey > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
