Setting F stop from the body...

You mean 'settig F stop'?
Geez, to think English is my first language! :-(
OK, how about 'setting the F stop'?
I'm getting used to it on the D but it's the only
one I own that it's done this way, I still like to
hear the nice *click,click,click*.
Backlight? Easy, three to four clicks this a way.
Black dog, three clicks that a way.
Simple method, for a simple brain! ;-)

It's an unnatural act IMHO.

Thanks Ern, that's a good point to know.
Boz's site does list 2-second mirror pre-fire for the 1p.
Didn't see that before, that's a biggie for me.
I use that feature on the ist-D a lot.
As far as setting the aperture a lot of my better glass is
Pentax K or M so using the aperture ring is a natural for
me. As a matter of fact I still find settig F stop from
the body a little wierd.

Quoting Don Sanderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:





I use DOF Preview mostly for closeup/macro, I usually use the KX
for that because of the mirror lockup.




OK -- speaking of which -- there's no mirror lockup on the plain PZ-1 but I believe the -1p has it with two-second self-timer.
