Argh, more money. Being a maximum aperture fanatic - because my sight
isn't too great - that looks like a 24/2.0 to model a 35/2.0 on 35mm. But
to model an 85/1.4 or 85/1.8, I seem to have

If one modifies a K or M lens to lock at a not-quite-mounted position, the

John Dallman:
So, with either SMC Takumars or K-mount manual focus lenses, what could I
do, metering-wise, on a *istD?
