Yep, a complete departure, it would occur pre-exposure, and would simply be positional feedback of the aperture blades (which would relate directly to the physical size of the aperture blade opening), I guess the lenses would have to be individually pre-calibrated and the data stored in the on board ROM. A lot of hassle but it would be accurate :-) -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
