This seems to be my sticking point about the MZ-S. I like being able to set
the aperture via the body on my ZX-7. It seems really strange that Pentax
would leave this feature off the MZ-S. All the mechanics are there, they
just need to program this ability into the firmware. Could we have this
feature added to the next update of the MZ-S?
