Incredible comments. Hehe. Stopped all the way down to F1.4 huh? I clearly posted earlier that the loss of metering sensitivity with stop down metering vs. open aperture metering is directly proportional to the number of stops you stop down. You stopped down ZERO stops so your metering sensitivity wasn't affected at all, exactly the same as open aperure actually in terms of sensitivity....
The sensitivity disadvantage of stop down metering only occurs if you actually stop down! Wide open aperure setting is not stopped down one bit. JCO -----Original Message----- From: Peter J.

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime. --P.J. O'Rourke
