Your wrote: "Last surprise: the prototype FA J 18-35mm seems to have a diaphragm simulator! Without a manual aperture ring on it, that makes no sense at all. Am I missing anything here?" I have noticed that, too. But it is not a real diaphragm simulator as you cannot change the diaphragm at the lens, directly. I assume that it only transfers the open aperture number to the body, i.e. older K-mount bodies should be able to use the FAJ lenses with open aperture. Cheers, Heiko
