Are you absolutely sure about this? From what Boz wrote, I concluded that the aperture DOES close, but all shots with the aperture not set at wide open would be more or less underexposed. Someone has mentioned that the *ist should behave like the MZ-50 if the Custom Function is set to allow taking pictures with non-A lenses. Can the MZ-50 stop down an M-Lens, and is it possible to compensate for the underexposure? These questions are important to me, as I have a manual Vivitar 17/3.5 that I would like to use on the *ist. Compensating for the underexposure would be bothersome but acceptable. However, if the *ist does not even allow this, I probably won't buy one.
