True, but accuracy is more expensive to achieve with a mechanical system. You will of course always have a mechanical system in the lens as long as the diaphragm itself is a mechanical device, but with the mechanical set-up as it now exists, you have two mechanical systems, one in the camera, one in the lens, *both* of which must made accurate. With an electronic system like Canon or Minolta, half this mechanical stuff is eliminated. -- Mark Roberts Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com 412-687-2835 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
