Re: Need help with new lens -- getting conflicting views on lens to camera datatransmission

[Alan Chan]

When the lens was set to 'A', the last contact on the lens mount would "pop out" mechanically ('A' lenses only) and contact the camera mount. This will close the circuit and the camera could be engaged in either program or shutter priority exposure mode. It's just a simple mechanical design that open and close the circuit.

regards,
Alan Chan

Umm...still lost.  What does that one contact do?  I wish I had that lens
out so I could see if everything was displayed on 'P' or 'Tv", all my test
shots with it were in Av...I should have known better.  I don't like the QC
tolerance, on shaky ground they should be very attentive to quality control
at least.
