I dont shoot fast moving objects much so my opinion might not work for you but i didnt find this inconvenient. Often i could just focus stopped down directly and in case it was too dark, open a few stops, focus and quicky stop down again. But if you are used to using program mode then this would be inconvenient for you :)
If you are careful you can get good buys on ebay. Photo.net and rec.photo.marketplace and this list itself are other sources to look at. In case you are interested, i am getting rid of some SM lenses myself. cheers, nitin On Mon, Apr 08, 2002 at 10:53:26PM -0400, TM wrote: > So if I use screwmount lenses on a K-mount body, I'll have to focus w/ > the > aperture open, then meter stopped down?
