Hello Jens, Yes, the *ist uses aperture control on the body, not the lens. It is not as nice as the *istD in that there is only one wheel that controls both aperture and shutter. When using an auto mode, this is fine, when using manual, it kind of sucks. You have to press a button plus spin the wheel for aperture control, while the wheel alone does shutter.
But yes, the FAJ concept works just fine on the *ist. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, February 12, 2004, 11:35:30 AM, you wrote: JB> Has Pentax stated, that they will not release lenses with an aperure ring JB> anymore?
