I just got a ZX-5n to replace/supplement my old SuperProgram. Looking through the manual, on page 57 it states that in aperture priority mode multi-segment metering can only be used with F and FA lenses. Is this a mistake in the manual? Some experimenting with my A lenses seems to indicate that multi-segment metering works.
Also, has anyone ever modified an M lens to provide the electrical maximum aperture contacts (insulators actually) to make the camera think it is an A lens. I'm thinking some carefully applied fingernail polish would allow multi-segment metering in aperture priority mode with M lenses. (Of course if it works, a more durable solution would be the logical next step.) -john - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
