I am sorry, but this is a really, really, bad argument. On one hand you Are saying you enjoy the "much more enjoyable" automation of "A" and later lenses and bodies, But then on the other hand youre saying that removal of the only Automation the K/M lenses have is "of little consequence". I am sorry But that is a really ridiculous argument. You cant have it both ways dude. Either the automation options are a good thing are they arent, you are arguing against yourself in totally opposite directions in the same post! Sincerely, JCO

I still love the old glass for their optical qualities but I like the newer glass as well. That I can use the older glass on the DSLR body is a bonus as far as I'm concerned. The lack of the aperture thingy is of little consequence to me as I enjoy using the older lenses in "manual mode," which allows me some of the pleasures that are found in using older cameras, but I can move up incrementally into more modern lenses and more modern ways of using the camera. For me, this is great ... ;-)) Shel > [Original Message] > From: William Robb > the K/M era of full support ended with the film camera > era.
