This line of argument totally misses the following point. 'Entry level' purchasers simply will not posses any lenses that require non-metered operation. If they already own any lenses then they don't represent the 'entry level'. They need only ensure that every subsequent lens they purchase is A or later to maintain full compatability with the lens's capabilities.
When I previously pointed out that the lenses could be used meterless to get all apertures, my point was to rebut the incorrect claims that no apertures smaller than maximum were ever possible using pre A lenses on an *ist. Don't say the last three words too quickly };-)> regards, Anthony Farr ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Zentena" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > On June 19, 2003 11:03 am, Rob Studdert wrote: > > On 19 Jun 2003 at 10:55, Nick Zentena wrote: > > > How does that make sense?
