Anyone here using K or M lenses that way?
Sorty about the bad news from John. For the sake of it, this is how I used to use K/M lenses on the (less) crippled MZ-50. To give me more leeway, I would set the film ISO 3 stops down (arithmetically) and start the lens 3 stops up (again aritmetically). This gave room to change aperture both up and down, and the -50 has the best interface for exposure compensation of all the cameras I have tried.
A month after I discovered I could do this (major breakthrough for a newbie, I tell you), I decided it was a pain in the backside and joined PDML with the question "MZ-6 or -5n"?
