Hmm. Can the DA lenses be used effectively on the MX at all ?
I'd guess they'd behave as if the (non-existent) aperture ring were set to f/32. I suppose that might be useful occasionally.
Yes, I just checked with the DA14. That's exactly what it does: goes to minimum aperture.
The view through the finder is interesting. Vignetting is severe at the long ends of the frame, but it's covering the central 24mm of the 24x36 frame. I guess I have a square format, 24x24mm camera with a 100 degree diagonal field of view, with an f/16 (or 22 or 32) lens to play with... ;-)
That's inspiring. Kind of a mini-Hasselblad SWC. I'll have to pull some film out of the freezer.
