Hmm. Perhaps you don't realize what this actually means on the G1. The G1's 'stop down' metering makes little difference to use of the viewfinder (the viewfinder brightens to allow you to focus and frame properly) and its metering is more accurate, with a wider range, than stop-down metering with any SLR I've ever owned. The viewfinders focusing assist magnification allows more precise focusing than any optical reflex finder short of having a magnifying eyepiece with similar magnification. With the G1, unlike any SLR I've used, using an adapted manual lens is very seamless in use with none of the awkwardness of using adapted lenses with SLRs. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
