That's correct, in non-A lenses the coupler lever only
has to be actuated fully, or not at all.
Since in A lenses this is the lever that sets the actual
aperture it has to be calibrated accurately.
Some non-A lenses will work this way, most will give
inaccurate exposures.
The voice of "experimental experience" speaking here. ;-)
