Yes, there is no problem with this lens reporting the proper focal length in EXIF. My "shake reduction" question was the result of an unfortunate leap in logic. I think I'm going to like this lens. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to U

The camera uses the code recorded in the data chip in the lens. Having partially disassembled an FA and an F lens I can say with relative assurance that that focal length is reported by several conductive strips that are sampled differently as the zoom ring is turned. I expect that the report
