Re: Porst 135mm 1.8
Hi Kevin, you can also pull and hold the DOF-preview in M mode. The metering scale on the right lights up as long you hold the lever in place. You can then track the changes in exposure balance according to your changes of time or aperture...very convenient IMHO. Thomas Uh, Doh. I meant to say if it's too slow, open up the stop. Then repeat your meter reading and shoot. In any case, the *ist-D meter works very well in multi segment, center weighted, and spot. it's a perrfectly adequate exposure tool.

Re: Porst 135mm 1.8
Did you set the camera to release with lenses without an A position on the lens, (custom function 16 if I remember correctly). Kevin Waterson wrote: I have a Porst 135mm 1.8-16 lense that I cannot get to work with the *istD. I have tried all modes but the camera will not fire. If it is set to M then the shutter speed is displayed but no metering. The same when it is set to Av or Tv. Even in B it will not fire. Any thoughts? Kind regards Kevin

Re: Porst 135mm 1.8
Hi Kevin, there is a custom function in which you must explicitly engage the firing with non-A lenses. Have you done that already? Have you also installed the new firmware which makes metering with M-lenses much easier? I can fire my ist-D even with enlarger lenses from the darkroom on an old m-type bellows...so it should be possible for you too! Lots of success have fun!

Re: Porst 135mm 1.8
The change in shutter speed reflects the meter reading. If it's too slow, stop down. Then repeat your meter reading and shoot.
