RE: Question or better yet, idea

I should have said it another way, I guess.  The mount has not changed, only 
the firmware has changed. I don't see any reason for anyone to claim it's a 
crippled mount, either before or after the firmware update.  The firmware 
update just automates what I used to do myself.

Probably in stop down metering?

That works great with screwmount lenses on a screwmount adapter.  There
is no way to do stop down metering with K/M lenses though unless you
remove the aperture lever from the lens, or hold the lens rotated 15
degrees on the mount.  Neither solution is ideal.
The new firmware fix gives you better than stop down metering.  It
is a nice solution.
