Subject: Setting aperture -- film SLRs
Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2006 10:41:08 -0500
A quick question, something I am curious about -- I've read a lot here
about the compatibility of older lenses on newer bodies, but what about the
other way?
Specifically, on film bodies without a thumbwheel (MZ-S, ZX-5n, etc), how
do you change the aperture when the lens is set on "A" or the lens does not
have an aperture ring? Is there a way to directly change the aperture on
the body? I assume you can affect aperture indirectly by changing shutter
speed, but can you operate in Av mode?
Are such lenses even usable on older bodies like the MX?
Thanks.
