I know we've been through it before but I find the lack of functionality using 
older lenses a pain. The fact that there is no aperture feedback coupling and 
other restrictions reeks of a ploy to ensure new lens sales, no less. It can't 
be compared it to the Canon system, they offer so much more and are honest to 
their users. The transition to EOS mount was not executed in a clandestine 
manner.
