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?
That *is* an issue. If the body you are using doesn't allow you to set
aperture "in body", and/or doesn't support an auto-aperture mode, you
will only be able to shoot wide open.
Worse: like Godfrey said, you will only be able to shoot fully closed
down...
