SMC- A lenses (have electronic contacts) are for cameras that has Aperture Automatics and Program Automatics (the camera kan choose shutterspeed AND Aperture, when lens is set to "A"). They are designed for A, P and PZ and MZ- bodies and will work (most fuctions) with *ist bodies, of which three has been made - up till today (*ist, *istD, *ist Ds).

I assumed that that meant they were auto or manual but seemingly not. What does it stand for? I was looking for a 28/3.5 but apparently one is better than the other. if anybdoy has any thoguths on the 28/3.5 they would be appreciated also. Gareth -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
