Sorry JCO ... I should know better than to contribute any further to
these threads. I don't mean to provoke a response from you at all.
But don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say anything about camera
metering or lack of AE. I said that I prefer to use AF lenses over *A-
series* lenses because I want the focal length information embedded
in the picture data. A-series lenses allow all functions of the DS
body's metering to operate very nicely, and I do consider that
important ... which is why all but two of the older lenses I
purchased are A-series lenses.
K/M series lenses are irrelevant in the context of this comment.
I also said I would like to have the focus distance setting embedded,
which at least FA, DA and D-FA series lenses should be able to provide.
That's it.
best
Godfrey

This is getting insane. Now your claiming
that EXIF data is more important than
camera metering and lack of AE? Make up
your mind. I say I don’t want basic features
removed from K/M lenses because it effects
the funcitonality and in the case of AE can
effect the ablity to get the shots and you argue that
its not that bad - green button is good - just live
with it - Im just bitching. And now
you are complaing that lack EXIF is a "pain in the neck"
. I am sorry but that’s more than a little hypocritical
isnt it? WAKE UP.
