Additionally, I never advocated continuous open aperture AE without AE lock (which is essentially what GB is) so your argument that putting the camera ONLY on AE and blindly shooting away ALL THE TIME, makes no sense. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shel Belinkoff Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2006 12:24 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: RE: The JCO survey I said some ... You have no clue as to how quickly and effortlessly the "stop down" method works on the Pentax DSLR, nor how accurate it is. In fact, some of us who use the GB technique have found it to be faster than those clunky old film bodies that used AE. IAC, metering is not some mindless technique where a camera is set to auto and just left their to make its own decisions about exposure. In addition, using the K/M lenses on the Pentax DSLR bodies allows for two different metering modes, spot and CW. I don't believe that option was available on very many Pentax film bodies. Hmmm .... could this be something in favor of the new approach? The point is simple: the older approach had some advantages over what's being done now, and the newer approach has some advantages over the older approach. You pay your money and you make your choice. Neither approach is perfect. Shel > [Original Message] > From: J. C.
