But by that standard, there is insufficient market for mechanical
aperture sensing. Otherwise every major SLR manufacturer would not have
abandoned it (Heck Canon and IIRC Minolta even abandoned mechanical
aperture coupling as well).

They don't offer what people don't need.
I am beginning to tire out over these arguments
because I posted an explaination why open apeture
metering is bettter but instead of you explaining
something wrong with my argument you just say
that its better ( Quality? ) without reason.
From what you are saying I gather you would
like or want stop down metering instead of open
aperture metering in all your cameras? WHY?
It's a serious question, not a rhetorical.
I ask because I don't believe there is any
reason to want it over open aperture metering
so Id like to know why in you would want stop down instead of open
aperture metering or why you thinks its "QUALITY"
method based on the post below...
thanks,

Like I said if anyone here thinks stop
down metering is better or as good as
open aperture metering than I would like
and explanation why NONE of the camera
companies use it anymore or even offer it as
an option in additon to open aperture metering?
Because its isnt as good that's why.
He really knows better than that. The reason companies no longer offer stop
down metering is very simple. There is insufficient market for it. Relative
quality doesn't matter.
Anyone here remember the Chrysler push-button automatic transmission? I
thought it was exponentially better than the typical gear shift lever. The
majority of the marketplace disagred with me and Chrysler. They went the way
of stop down aperture metering cameras.
