I am not sure that I understand you correctly here, but manual stop down lenses and equipment (eg, M42->K adapters, reversing rings) do have an aperture-simulation pin, which is fixed to the 'lens is fully open' position. Problem is that the rest position of the aperture-simulation pin on the body is the 'lens is stopped down X stops' position, where X is something like 7 or 8. So the meter reading would be quite wrong without this ... cheerio ralf -- Ralf Stubner <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
