Absolutely not. It certainly does not stop down when you do.
I said pretty much. The "green button" works fine for an Aperture preferred
mode, and if you want to do manual metering, which I prefer anyway, you can
hold the DOF lever in and get stop down metering just like on a Spotmatic.
You did and I noticed it but still thought to highlight the important
difference. There is *no* way I would use (again) a lens that switches
off the lights in exchange for some DOF.
YMMV,
