Thanks. So I guess I do know what "open aperture metering" is, only I didn't know I knew. It's what I do. And it's easy to avoid the green button, since my camera [DS] doesn't have one. I have an A 50/2 also. I may see if I can trade my M 50/1.7 for an A 50/1.7, too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- 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.
