I do. I'm not sure which. But I'm sure I had a Pengax camera with a small window and a mirror, showing the aperture setting on the aperture ring in the viewfinder - I do believe it was the MX :-) Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt
-----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Nick Clark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 21. september 2004 17:32 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: Re: *ist series support for setting the aperture on the lens(was: ist D AE mode for K & M lenses) I don't know of any camera that does give a readout of aperture with K/M lenses, even if it does have the aperture simulator lever. The same is true for A lense off the A setting. Nick -----Original Message----- From: "William Robb"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On the istD and a few of the film cameras, this lever (it's called an aperture simulator or aperture estimator) is missing. This removes any way for the lens to impart aperture information to the camera via mechanical means. Since pre A series lenses lack the ability to transmit such information electrically, metering operation is compromised. Also, the camera cannot give a readout of what aperture value is chosen.
