That would defeat the whole idea of compactness of the limited

your 2.8.

Seems like more and more common. Most want AF in such a lens. I've noticed too that

Let me just add that this whole thing is about a fundamental change to wholly
electronic metering where the aperture value from the lens CPU is used. This also
opens up for wholly electronic aperture setting in lenses compatible with the *ists.
