I'm lazy, that's why. Incredibly lazy. And forgetful. Incredibly forgetful. Its something I don't desire to have to do, I ratehr apprechaite that the camera is smart enough that I don't have to stop down to meter. Now, its easier having to press the DoF button to meter rather than stopping down, but I still choose to avoid it as much as possible. Its another headache I don't need to worry about. I've already got a camera that requires me jump through hoops, setting, doublechecking, and resetting a series of dials, widgets, and bits. I kinda considered the move from the ZX5n (which I use more than the MX, I should really sell that) to a digital body to be streamlining things, I don't want to have to remember to do that every time I might happent o use one of the two or so lenses that don't have an "A" setting. Two? Crap, maybe only one.. but its the point of it. Bugs me. Incredibly lazy, forgetful, and a total whiner. That's me. All the electric bells and whistles don't mean squat if I have to remember to fidget them into working right. A 645d sounds delightful, though, coz I know all of my 645 lenses have "A"utomatic settings, except I know I can't afford one o' them. :) -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
