Hey Dave I'm not sure I qualify to answer your question after having the ist
D for about a week, but I'm thinking what you got is right
How do you like the camera so far... Did you get that great price from
Blacks
Vic
The camera does not have a way of knowing the F stop unless the
A setting is used.
Using the Green Button only closes the lens to the stop you
have set and then reads the light to determine exposure.
Only when the F stop is set *on the camera body* will this
info be recorded.

In other words, it's normal. Stick the lens on A and set the aperture
from the body if you want the aperture recorded.
Thanks Steve.

Yes, it's normal.
The focal length and aperture is not recorded. Cameras like Super A (1983)
PZ-1 and MZ-S (2001) etc. all work the same way - that is, the aperture is
not recorded by the camera (allthough it is by the meter), thus not stated
in the viewfinder or otherwise. It IS a PITA. But

If the camera could record the f stop the lens was set to when the lens
wasn't set to A, then it could also meter properly.
I know that F and FA lenses supply the camera with that information, but
Pentax apparently didn't equip the camera with
the capability to read it.

No,same price. I thought you got it when it was $1699.00.
Great price. Everyone else is still at $1899.
I find it a bit small for my hands to,but its something i can be happy with.

It couldn't, as it predates the F/FA lenses and their protocols :-)
I have no idea whether the SF cameras behave similarly or
The same is true for the PZ-1 and PZ-1p with FA
lenses--the aperture set on the lens shows up in the
viewfinder just fine.
...well, except with the FA 28-80/3.5-4.7 (power
zoom), in which case the aperture in the viewfinder is
about a stop off (even though exposure is fine). Go
figure.

I can confirm that:
My Z1 does not detect aperture with my Tamron 28mm 2.5 with KA adapter
but does with ma FA 50mm 1.4. This is with aperture ring not on A of course.

Not true in general. If you use an F or FA lens with the -5n, you get
the aperture on the viewfinder even in Av mode (which is done from the
lens in that camera, not the body). I would guess that's also true for
the MZ-S.
Hi William
my Pentax SFXn only shows the aperture *in the LCD* when the lens is set to
A position, otherwise not.
