JB Thanks for the answers. To me it seems like there's an aperturering on the

Unfortunately, Nikon dropped the aperture simulator on its all non-pro
bodies, including the cheaper DSLRs (D100,D70). So you can mount a
lens on D100 or D70 with an aperture ring, but you won't get any
metering. For that, you would have to buy the expensive pro DSLRs (D1
D2). Or hack the lens
PL Hmm interesting. Unfortunately this is impossible with pre-A pentax lenses

Well, sorry for the Nikon excursion,
Yes Nikon digital does not work with their MF lenses
unless you add a chip to the lens (not factory
supported by the way). It was actually that reason
that sent me to get a 10D a year ago. It's amazing
but the 10D actually has stop down metering with my
old MF Nikon lenses (via adaptor), while
Actually what you are talking about is new features
Nikon added over the years to get more functionality
out of the same lens mount. Things like P mode with no
digital contacts, etc.
As far as manual focus goes Nikon only has ever had
two mounts. F mount and pre-F mount (i am not sure

The Nikon compatibility thing is a myth. When they first went to internal meters
they just added a coupling fork to the existing lenses, and you could have one
added to your old lens. That started the compatibility myth. When they went to

I consider being able to use manual focus lenses with the istd (s) an
outstanding benefit to owning Pentax and an excellent reason to buy a digital
SLR.
Being able to (almost) seamlessly use 20+ year old lenses on the latest
technology puts Pentax, IMHO, way ahead of the rest...

As far as manual focus goes Nikon only has ever had
two mounts. F mount and pre-F mount (i am not sure
exact dates but we are talking early 70's here.. ).
All F mount lenses will mount on all F mount cameras
It depends on what you would call abandoned. Canon, Minolta and Olympus
have all changed their
lens mounts and none of the new ones included an aperture ring. Nikon
as usual is a mixed bag.
Contax? Leica hasn't but they've introduced a digital back for their
film SLR's...

Not just Pentax. When Canon switched from FD to EOS, the ring vanished.

Canon and Minolta have abandoned it completely. Nikon partly (and to a
greater extent than Pentax, I think).
As they say, you don't need a weatherman

manual mode).
