You are quite correct about the totally battery-free operation of an ME-S in the B position. Besides the use of the ME-S with a telescope, the M 50/1.4 does very well for wide-field astrophotos - at f/1.4 when you really need the speed, or stopped down to f/2 for clean star images. (I don't know about the relative viewfinder brightnesses - sorry, but someone else can jump in with knowledge of that.) Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
