Okay, set the f-stop for f8, look through the viewfinder and zoom for your composition. The "new" f-stop is shown on the bottom of the viewfinder. Reach up with your left hand and turn the aperture ring until the desired (f8) aperture is shown in the viewfinder. Bill, KG4LOV [EMAIL PROTECTED] - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
