I am not mistaken. I never claimed the adaptor does auto-aperture (Hence the note about the lack of stop-down metering switch, which also uses the auto-aperture function). -Adam J. C. O'Connell wrote: I believe he is mistaken, you cannot get a M42 adapter that does auto aperture on M42

Actually, since the Canon's do continuous metering in Manual and Aperture Priority along with TTL flash (including wireless multi-group flash) they're more functional than Pentax DSLR's with M42 lenses (which offer metering only via the green button hack or DoF preview and no TTL flash with

Show me exactly where I stated 'M42 adaptors do auto-aperture'. I didn't. As far as I'm concerned, the metering stop down button IS the auto aperture feature. They're directly (and physically) connected on M42 SLR's that feature that capability. That's exactly what I was referring to when I
