It has been said a long time ago. I read it In the K100D manual recently too. If you Set the lens to anything other than wide open "exposure error may occur" or something to that effect. In other words, it won't work right. jco

What isn't available is the ability to stop these lenses down below wide open in this mode. For that you need to use Manual exposure mode to obtain semi- automatic ("Hyper Manual") metering with the green button or AE-Lock button. Or has this been said before? I forget.
