Have you set the camera body to M? I assume you've already set the menu item to allow the shutter to release with a non-A lens mounted.
If so, here's the basic procedure: 1. Set aperture on lens. Set camera body to M (manual). 2. Hit the AE-lock button on the camera. Lens will stop down, camera will meter, then set the shutter speed it thinks is correct. 3. Press shutter release. Camera stops down lens, takes picture. -Mat On 10/3/05, Barry Rice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey Folks, > > When I'm using my old lenses that do not have an "A" setting, like my SMC > 200mm F4, on my *ist-DS, I gather that the "crippled mount" only allows me > to shoot with the lens wide open. > > Is it true that I can't use this lens in my *ist-DS at F22, because the lens > doesn't close down during the exposure?
