The answer is, it depends. You have to remember that there are two types of manual focus lenses. The "A" and the "M" versions. The "A" version has all the proper electrical contacts to allow the camera body to control the aperature, and has an "A" position on the aperature ring just beyond the min f-stop mark. The "M" version does not, and the aperature must be set via the lens itself. Therefore, with A series lenses you have all of the same metering (Matrix, CW, Spot) and exposure modes (HyP, HyM, Av, Tv) as with autofocus lenses. But with the M lens you lose the HyP, and Tv exposure modes, and the Matrix metering mode. In other words, with an M lens you lose any features that require the body to control the aperature. > Thanks > > Joe Hope this helps. Nick Yahoo!
