You are right. Except for the HSM Sigma lenses, the Elan IIe, then EOS3, and later the 7e, required upgrades to the chip in Sigma and Tokina lenses. Not sure of lenses like Phoenix or other aftermarket. Tamron was fine, no upgrade needed. Incidentally, the 1V was the EOS 3 with better body and no ECF and of course the 100% viewfinder (something as you know I avoid like the plague).
