The tail wagging the dog perhaps. If they couldn't fit it then they set an initial design criterion that was too strict. I imagine that if there is currently absolutely no room then a design adjustment of probably no more than 2.5mm in body depth would have done the trick nicely. All the old sensors took up stuff all space and another 2.5mm wouldn't have blown out their micro miniature body fantasy. They were brand new designs, they every opportunity to incorporate an aperture feedback sensor in the design. The question is what was the nature of their motivation for omitting it (and I don't buy the extra cost argument for a second) Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
