LX and MX for sure. Super Program does not have a little window. At
ply to them. I usually find this to be blissful.

The Super Program gives you aperture readout in the digital indicator
of the viewfinder,
but only with the lens set to the A setting. And it's only accurate on
a constant-aperture
lens. But it is there.

LX and MX for sure. Super Program does not have a little window. At

Hi Bill,
The LX doesn't do that with all finders. The FA-2 finder doesn't allow for
that feature. But is that really a readout ... not wanting to split hairs
here, but just curious about how the terminology may be defined. I see a
true readout as something different.

But that's not exactly a "readout" in the sense that Nick and Rob probably
meant. It's just a reflection of the aperture setting from the lens
barrel. At least two of the LX finders had the same feature.

I don't know of any camera that does give a readout of aperture with K/M lenses, even
if it does have the aperture simulator lever. The same is true for A lense
off the A setting.

All Pentax lenses starting with the "A" series have been designed so
that moving the stopdown lever a precise linear distance changes the
f-stop one stop, so cameras designed to use those lenses can set the
aperture that way. K and M lenses do not have calibrated linear movement
so used a feedb
Good question.

Really?
William Robb
Yes, at least it would work for a long while.
Without it at all, it NEVER works. No open aperture AE with
K/M lenses
Now I am getting a little confused. So there must be a lever on the ist for
it to set the apeture on the lens, correct?
