Yes, I read through it all, but the linear/non-linear diaphragm control is only
important if the camera is trying to set the position of the diaphragm (ie.
Program or shutter-preferred autoexposure). For matrix metering it just needs to
know what the mazimum and minimum possible apertures are. The information about
where the diaphragm is actually *set* at any given time comes through the
stop-down *indicator* (on the opposite side of the lens from the diaphragm
actuator) and this didn't change.
