I think that the exact value of the maximum aperture can be read by old cameras as well - even the analogue MF cameras do it. The pin for it has existed before any electronic contacts. But only the newer cameras can display it. All the best! Raimo Personal photography homepage at http://www.uusikaupunki.fi/~raikorho
