The newer Nikons with the 1,005 pixel Colour Matrix Meter II all have a
fairly simple way to pick Focal Length and Max aperture with the D-pad
on the back. Even remembers the max aperture last used for each focal
length, so you can quickly pick a commonly used lens most of the time.
It uses this to enable matrix metering with non-CPU lenses.

days when you had to set the film speed. The benefit would
be worth the trouble of inputting it I would think,,,

Drat. I was getting all excited.
Isn't that all the F and FA lenses?
