Bad eyesight? No way, I have 20-15 vision at normal or far distances ( viewfinders are essentially at infinity) and even if I did, there are diopters to correct for that kind of thing.
This stuff WR is posting is the usual horseshit and totally overlooks the key points I made in the earlier post about the entire SLR camera industry going to auto-aperture in the early 60's for the reasons I stated which are true. They didnt do this for people with bad eyesight. They did this because its just plain better, even for people with good eyesight, like me. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Robb Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 3:48 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Pentax K 28mm f2.0 Lens ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.

I recall a similar related thread where I came to the conclusion that either Adam has much better eyesight than you, or you have very poor eyesight, since what you were putting up as objections were specifically not an impediment as far as he was concerned. > > Like I said earlier, I do NOT agree those things "gained" > are even remotely as important to userfriedlyness of > the M42 system as autoaperture function is. Your agreement isn't required, and your disagreement is noted. Lets move on, shall we?
