The MZ-5n (and MZ-M) will do the same with AF lenses. With A lenses, it will show dashes as Kostas said. There will be aperture information only when set to A. I am not sure about F lenses (I don't currently own any), but I guess it will be the same as AF. Regards, Jaume --- Boris Liberman <[E

Hi! It's for those of us that might be using the lens in a manual mode or an aperture-priority autoexposure mode, who are looking at the aperture dial on the lens... Some of us might never use this in a mode or on a body that utilized the lens' electrical info. Is it correct that I can use this l
