I still don't know what an aperture simulator is, but the earlier D-series
cameras had the same menu setting, and many of us have been using lenses
with aperture rings all along.

The circled lever is the aperture simulator on my LX. This is how the

associated electronics are what is missing from all the DSLR's is

With pre-A lenses, the lens determines how much it is stopped down. In
order to measure exposure wide open, the body must know how much the lens
will stop down
OK, thanks. I think someone explained this before, but I didn't get it.
Now I understand.

Thanks, Dave ... between your pics and explanation, and Lucas's
explanation, I finally got it. I knew all along how the lens/body thing
worked on older lenses, but the term aperture simulator threw me. I
never knew what it was called. Hard to believe, eh ;-))

The aperture simulator is the little lever in the camera body that mates
to the aperture lever in the lens. Its on the upper right side of the
mount, when viewed from the front, on all high quality K mount cameras
before the digital era, and all K mount cameras before the advent of the
MZ/ZX
Of course, this makes pefect sense. Then the wheels
are only used for the DA lenses. If this is true it's
my favorite feature of the camera so far.
It's the little things in life...

Nope, wheels are used for all A and later lenses set to A. There's no
aperture simulator to relay the selected aperture to the camera anyways,
so using a lens off the A setting would inherently involve the green
button hack.
