Dont foolish, I know exactly what these DSLR K/M metering mode(s) are and are not. I dont have to buy or use the camera to know that. Are you attempting to say that the metering and exposure modes are now the same as they would be if the K/M lenses were fully supported via a cam sensor? HINT, The answer is NO. Metering would be done open aperture and true continuous open aperture AE ( with the usual AE lock ) would be possible but as these cameras currently are, these things are not possible. Dont try to say that because I havent bought/used the camera I dont know the differences because I do. These cameras essentially give you AE LOCK only, with no continuous AE and they do it stopped down instead of wide open which can dramatically lower the metering sensitivity when using small fstops. Both are not as good as fully supported K/M metering and exposure modes would be. jco
