Re: mmmmm.... MZ-S
No, if only because lenses do not have aperture rings anymore. But they could build around it, indeed.

Re: mmmmm.... MZ-S
The D-FA specification still includes aperture rings, (subject to change without notice of course). -Original Message- From: Thibouille pentaxl...@gmail.com Sent: Feb 1, 2009 10:20 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Subject: Re: m MZ-S No, if only because lenses do not have aperture rings anymore.

RE: mmmmm.... MZ-S
I've used my MZ-S with the DA 40. You can get by with the single wheel but it is annoying.

Re: mmmmm.... MZ-S
Yes, you're limited (just as SuperA) to TV and Program modes. Yes DFA includes aperture rings but DFA is dead, IMO. DA*200/300 are FF lenses. They do not include aperture rings however. The DA*55 may be as well btw. On Sun, Feb 1, 2009 at 4:58 PM, Desjardins, Steve desjard...@wlu.edu wrote: I've used my MZ-S with the DA 40. You can get by with the single wheel but it is annoying.

It's a really nice camera, ergonomically. I've had mine for 4 years, now and it's still my prime camera, despite getting an *istD in 2006. I just got back a roll of film, though, and checking the leader I see that it was only the 92nd I've put through it in all that time.
