When the thread title is stupid I am going to comment on it. Secondly why havent you told us WHY WHY WHY you shoot with M42 auto-aperture lenses and bodies stopped down all the time? I don't believe it, either your stupid for doing so or your A liar for saying so unless you have some good explanation For doing so which I simply cant imagine as I am a LONG TIME User of M42 bodies and lenses and that makes no sense whatsoever To me at this point. I'd love to hear your reason for doing so. Maybe there is something I am missing but I cant see it. jco
