Hi!How do you meter with a lens without an A position. ?
Talking to myself I am. Not a good sign this is <grin>.
I see. Well, I did not know that. But then I suppose it means that my soon to arrive F 85/2.8 soft would have A position too. That's way cool.
I went to Boz's site and saw there that F 85/2.8 soft has no A position. Still, both my cameras have no problem with that anyway...
I want to try to get a lens without an A position (because there are a lot of good lenses for little money on the second hand market at this moment ) and tryed to meter if with my Pentax *ist body. I took a lens with an A position and tryed to measure the light with the lens not set to A but to 8.0. In the LCD display (in the M mode) no diafragm value was displayed and I could only measure the light with full diafragm(it seemed i could only measure the light with the full diafragm opening, changing the diafragm on the lens did not influence the measured exposure time).
Is this beause i used an A lens or are not A lenses not compatible with this body ?
Thanx.
Johan.
